Lakeland R-III School District administrators were made aware of potential safety concerns related to a school shooting threat made between students. The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office was contacted and a joint investigation into the potential threat was started. Our practice is always to take any threat seriously and investigate thoroughly. We do not have any reason to believe there is any danger to students, faculty, and staff. There is no evidence of an imminent threat and school will continue to be in session. Families, please understand the serious consequences for students that can come from participating in or creating threats verbally, or via social media. School safety is a collective effort and if you or your student become aware of any type of threat please report it directly to school staff, law enforcement, or to Courage2Report, the state of Missouri’s official reporting mechanism. You can report a threat by calling 1-866-748-7047 ​t​oll-free, or by texting “C2R” to 738477 to receive a link to an anonymous tip form. Our administrative team and staff work closely with law enforcement to ensure a safe environment for our children. Local law enforcement will continue to patrol our buildings regularly and we are continually evaluating our safety protocols to maintain a secure school community. It is through a cooperative partnership of the Lakeland R-III School District, the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office, and Lakeland families that we will continue to engage in best practices of school safety.

DR. DEANNA JURKOWSKI SELECTED AS NEW LAKELAND SUPERINTENDENT The Lakeland R-III Board of Education is pleased to announce that Dr. Deanna Jurkowski has been selected as the new superintendent for the Lakeland R-III School District, effective July 1, 2025. She will replace Mr. Mitch Towne, who will retire after 30 years in education. Dr. Jurkowski has been employed as the 7-12 principal with the Concordia R-II School District since July 2019. In addition to the Concordia R-II School District, she has served as the Kingsville R-I School District's assistant principal and special education director. The district is looking forward to Dr. Jurkowski continuing the district's excellence and welcoming her into this important leadership position. She was selected from a strong list of candidates, and was deemed the best fit for Lakeland. “I am honored to join the Lakeland R-III community as superintendent,” said Dr. Jurkowski. “Over the coming months, I plan to spend time in the district to get to know staff, students, and patrons while learning about the rich history and traditions of the district. I am inspired by the district’s motto, 'Where Teamwork Achieves the Extraordinary,' and I am committed to continuing this legacy by working collaboratively with all members of the community to continue providing students with opportunities to learn and grow.” Dr. Jurkowski is excited to meet and connect with members of the staff and community. “I encourage everyone to say hello and introduce themselves when they see me—whether it’s in the school, at events, or in the community. Building strong relationships is key to our collective success, and I look forward to working together to achieve great things for our students.”
