                             Budgeting
Although the LS school district is considered a premier
district in the Greater Kansas City area, it spends the
least amount of money per student. The community has
been generous when passing bonds and levies. Since
2004 there has been six on ballots and all have passed.
However, because Lee’s Summit has little major industry
its tax base is small.

The Library Media Center must strive to meet the needs of all its patrons. Although the LSWHS population may not
appear diverse, its students do have a variety of interests and needs. The media center should survey their patrons
yearly to determine those interests and needs.
Of the three Lee’s Summit high schools, LSWHS has the highest % of minority students. The LSWHS library collection
should reflect this difference.
One can infer from the data that college preparation is of great concern for LSWHS students. For this reason the Library
Media Center should provide materials that will prepare the college bound student for his future endeavors. It should also
provide up to date resources for the selection of a college.
Also, because most LSWHS students have internet access and home and many are involved in extracurricular activities
which preclude them from using the Media Center during its open hours, it is important that the Media Center provide at
home access to their online resources.
Because the Lee’s Summit community has such high regard for education, it is important that the media center include
them in decision-making. It is also crucial that the media center inform the school stakeholders of their resources,
programming, and other efforts.

  • 4. Lee's Summit West High School Community Analysis June 2010 Library Services The Library Media Center must strive to meet the needs of all its patrons. Although the LSWHS population may not appear diverse, its students do have a variety of interests and needs. The media center should survey their patrons yearly to determine those interests and needs. Of the three Lee’s Summit high schools, LSWHS has the highest % of minority students. The LSWHS library collection should reflect this difference. One can infer from the data that college preparation is of great concern for LSWHS students. For this reason the Library Media Center should provide materials that will prepare the college bound student for his future endeavors. It should also provide up to date resources for the selection of a college. Also, because most LSWHS students have internet access and home and many are involved in extracurricular activities which preclude them from using the Media Center during its open hours, it is important that the Media Center provide at home access to their online resources. Because the Lee’s Summit community has such high regard for education, it is important that the media center include them in decision-making. It is also crucial that the media center inform the school stakeholders of their resources, programming, and other efforts.
