Lemon Grove School District

<p>This K-8 school district operates five elementary schools and one middle school, serving approximately 3,900 students.</p> <p>The Lemon Grove School District has been struggling with budget cuts in recent years, but has managed to keep a vibrant educational program alive. Even though one middle school was closed, and the sixth-grade camp program cut, the school board recently managed to find enough money to re-hire some badly-needed teachers' aides and janitors. The board president, as of Oct. 2010, is Tim Shaw. Other board members are Katie Dexter, Larry Loschen, Blanca Brown and Jay Bass.</p> <p>The school board meets in the Community Center twice a month, every other Tuesday.</p> <p>The district includes six elementary schools and one middle school. Lemon Grove Middle school is closed for two years, to save money and for renovation as part of a planned school/library project.</p>
