Leflore County School District

The Leflore County School District (LCSD) was a public school district headquartered in Greenwood, Mississippi, United States.[1]

The district served areas in Leflore County outside of the City of Greenwood, including the city of Itta Bena, the towns of Morgan City, Schlater and Sidon,[2] as well as the community of Minter City.[3] Also some portions of Greenwood were in the district, as well as Mississippi Valley State,[2] which contains faculty housing and residential apartments of Mississippi Valley State University.[4]

Effective July 1, 2019 this district and the Greenwood Public School District consolidated into the Greenwood-Leflore School District.[5]

History

In October 2013 the State of Mississippi took control of the school district. The second person appointed by state as the head of the school district was Ilean Richards.[6]

Circa 2016 the rating of the Greenwood district was D. Unlike most state-mandated school district consolidations, in which a larger district absorbs a smaller district, in this instance two districts of roughly equal size are merging; in 2016 the Leflore district had 2,405 students and the Greenwood district had 2,846 students while the Leflore district had 2,405 students.[7] Adam Ganucheau and Zachary Oren Smith of Mississippi Today described both districts as being "large".[7]

David Jordan, a member of the Mississippi Senate, criticized the upcoming Greenwood-Leflore merger since the Leflore district's performance in state tests was worse than that of the Greenwood district; their respective grades from the Mississippi Department of Education circa 2016-2017 were F and C.[8]

Richards resigned in 2017, and James Johnson-Waldington became the district head.[6]
