Promoting School Safety
Safety in our schools is a top priority for Lloyd and the board.

Enhanced security measures and the promotion of mental health support services are critical components of their strategy to create a safe and secure learning environment. Lloyd and the board understand that students can only succeed academically if they feel safe and supported.
Improving Facilities

Under their leadership, the district has completed several major construction projects, including new schools and upgraded sports facilities. Their focus on sustainability and energy efficiency has transformed Warren County Public Schools from being the 16th most energy-efficient district to the most energy-efficient district in Kentucky. These efforts demonstrate their dedication to creating an optimal learning environment for all students.
