Superintendent's Message

Loveland Tiger Community,

We are starting the New Year with energy and excitement here in Loveland. Last month, the Board of Education hired John Espy as our new Treasurer. Mr. Espy is an experienced Treasurer with a background as an educator. John is also a Loveland parent, and I know he’s excited to keep the district moving forward. You can learn more about his background and experience by following this link to our website.

If your New Year’s resolution includes becoming more involved in your community - consider attending one of our Town Hall Meetings. These meetings are an opportunity for our community to give us their feedback. You’ll sit with neighbors, discussing ways to help the district improve. One person described them as more like a workshop because of the collaborative way people talk and share ideas.

We will be hosting two Town Hall Meetings next month:

Wednesday, February 7 at 6 pm at Loveland Elementary School
Wednesday, February 28 at 6 pm at Loveland Middle School

RSVP for one of our Town Hall Meetings, and learn more about our community engagement efforts by following this link to our website.

I’m always happy to answer questions - just send me an email: broadwmi@lovelandschools.org.

Go Tigers!

Mike Broadwater

Celebrating Grandparents and Great Influences!

Loveland City Schools celebrated “Grandparents and Great Influences” in December. Across the district, we opened our buildings to grandparents and older community members to celebrate the important role they play in the lives of our students. Aunts and uncles, older siblings, coaches, and lots of grandparents all spent time making memories with our students.

Visitors from Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and as far away as Maryland all took the time to travel to Loveland for this event. In total, we welcomed more than 3,200 visitors!

Thank you to our staff members for putting in the time and effort to make “Grandparents and Great Influences” a success - and thank you to everyone who attended!
