LaKeesha S. Klu Atkinson

LaKeesha S. Klu Atkinson serves on the Portsmouth School Board. Her official biography describes a Portsmouth education beginning at Woodrow Wilson High School, followed by criminal-justice study with a sociology minor at Norfolk State University. It also identifies her work founding Believe Pray Overcome and an anti-bullying youth initiative.

That background connects school governance with the experience of children and families beyond the classroom. A concern about bullying, belonging or family engagement may require immediate attention within a school as well as a broader discussion of policy, communication and support. The board’s role is to address the governance side of those issues, while school staff handle individual cases through established procedures.

Residents can find Atkinson’s official biography through the School Board directory and follow public business through the division’s meeting resources. A useful policy question explains what families are experiencing and the change sought. Private information about a student should be kept out of public comments. Her current term is listed through December 2028 in the division’s roster information.
