Dear London Families and Community Members,

This Fall our community voted to approve the renewal of the district's income tax. This outcome, marking the fourth successful renewal since its original passage in 2004, is a testament to our shared commitment to the well-being of our schools and the prosperity of our community. The income tax, which provides over 20% of the district's general revenue, plays a vital role in ensuring the continued growth and success of our educational programs.

I took this position, moved to L-Town, and my wife and I enrolled our kids at LCS because we saw the immense potential in London, our school district, as well as the remarkable people who contribute to its incredible community spirit. Your support reinforces our belief in the bright future of our schools and the community as a whole.

As we move forward, please know that our district is deeply committed to upholding the high standards that our families and community members deserve. We will work tirelessly to ensure that our schools continue to thrive and make you proud.

Thank you once again for your continued trust and support. Today and every day, it's great to be a London Red Raider!

Warm regards,

Dr. Lou Kramer

District Superintendent

Dr. Kramer has served Ohio's public schools for 28 years and is currently in his 9th year as the London City School District Superintendent. During his teaching career, Dr. Kramer taught elementary and middle school students, while also coaching high school cross country, golf, basketball, and track. Over the course of his 22 years as an administrator, he has served as an elementary principal, a high school principal, a Curriculum Director, and as a District and Educational Service Center Superintendent.

Lou holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Dayton, a Master of Arts Degree in Educational Leadership from The Ohio State University, a Doctor of Education Degree in Organizational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University, and earned his superintendent's license from the University of Findlay. Kramer currently serves on several state committees and remains connected to the London Community by being involved with the London Rotary Club, the United Way of Clark, Champaign, and Madison Counties, the Madison Family Council Executive Committee, and serves on the Board of the Madison County Collaborative Economic Development Agency. He is an adjunct faculty member in Franklin University's Organizational Leadership Doctoral Program, teaches in the graduate school at Wittenberg University, and also volunteers as the head coach for the London High School swim team and the Red Raider summer baseball team.

As a "recovering" high school principal and avid Cleveland Sports fan, Lou jokes that he is both an eternal optimist and a glutton for punishment. He and his wife, Janet, have been married for 24 years and have four active children in high school and college. The Kramers reside in London and send their school-age children to London City Schools.

Parents and community members are encouraged to connect with Dr. Kramer on Social Media.
