Latanya Lloyd, a mainstay of Piedmont High School\u2019s front office staff for almost 25 years, died unexpectedly on April 11. Affectionately known as \u201cLT,\u201d Lloyd served as campus supervisor and attendance clerk for the high school and was known for making enduring connections with students and staff. <\/p>\n
\u200b\u201dLT wasn\u2019t just a staff member; she was the pulse of the front office,\u201d said Principal David Yoshihara in an email to PHS families on April 12. \u201cWhether she was ensuring our campus remained a safe environment or navigating the complexities of attendance, she did so with a steady hand and a deep commitment to our students. Her longevity in the district is a testament to her loyalty and her passion for education.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lloyd\u2019s two sons Gerald and Tavon both work as Special Education para-professionals for PUSD. <\/p>\n
\u201cHer commitment was unmatched \u2014 she did a job only she could do, forming connections with colleagues and friends. LT\u2019s presence brought safety, guidance, and stability to our campus, and her sudden passing has left a profound void in our hearts. The bond she shared with her two sons, who are also part of the PUSD family, was recognizable to all and a source of inspiration and pride,\u201d says a message on the GoFundMe<\/a> set up to help her family with expenses at this time. <\/p>\n The Board of Education and APT and CSEA leadership expressed their condolences and shared memories of Lloyd at their Wednesday night meeting. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Latanya Lloyd, a mainstay of Piedmont High School\u2019s front office staff for almost 25 years, died unexpectedly on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273423,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-273422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
