The school seat

The corporation's frame; the schools leg digs whole

The corporation changed its name in 2026; the transition prints as a transition. The corporation serving Lakeville is the five-member-board corporation organized 1 July 1962 out of Union Township, St. Joseph County, and North Township, Marshall County — the corporation the framing documents call Union-North United. On 8 June 2026 its Board of School Trustees voted 4–0 to change the corporation's name to LaVille Community Schools (the corporation's record as carried in its reference account, citing the meeting coverage of that date). As of November 2026 both names stand in live use — the newer lavilleschools.org under the new name, the unionnorth.org pages still up under the old — and the corporation prints here under both, the old name governing everything before 8 June 2026. Its superintendent is Keith Burke: both of the corporation's sites carry his signed welcome, an athletics item of April 2026 names him in office, and the corporation's published hearing notice of January 2025 sets his contract from 6 January 2025 to 31 December 2028, beginning base salary $129,185.56; his predecessor, Dr. Angela Piazza, stood in the office in March 2023 (Indiana Department of Education review). The schools stand on Lakeville postal ground: LaVille Jr–Sr High School at 69969 US 31 South, and LaVille Elementary at 12645 Tyler Road on the school's own listing — against which a 2023 Department of Education filing prints 22601 Tyler Road for the elementary and uses the same address for the corporation, and the schools leg settles the sites' position against the county line: the elementary at 12645 Tyler Road stands in Marshall County (North Township), and 22601 Tyler Road is the corporation's central office, not the school (assembly conform, DELTA-LK3-1). The board seat for the town's ground stood on the 2026 ballot: LaVille Community School Board, Union Township — Bradley Sherman (Republican) against Arden Balmer (Independent). The one result reached is an aggregator's, labelled unofficial on its own page: Sherman 56.6 per cent, Balmer 43.4 per cent. No winner is declared on an unofficial aggregator figure; the Clerk's certified summary is the settler, with Marshall County's record for the district-wide total. The corporation's North Township seat stood uncontested for Thomas Strang.
