Speaker of the Day: Ryan Lindquist (EPS Executive Director of Business Services). Ryan provided some very interesting facts and general information about the Elkhorn School District. The District has grown from 3,300 student to over 11,000 since 2005. There are now 3 High Schools, 5 Middle Schools and 12 Elementary Schools. The newest middle school "North Ridge MS" will open this fall. The logistics required to support these facilities is a major effort (1,200 staff, 48 custodians, 2.1 million square feet of space, 390 acres of land, on-site cooking operations, plus full busing services to all 20 buildings). There will also be 108 new teachers on staff this fall!
Thanks! See you Thursday ... Tod
