Fully staffed schools are not a dream for the future. Counselors, Special Education staff, Arts and Music support, nurses to name a few are what every school needs, everyday. The next Schools of Tomorrow Implementation Committee (STIC) meeting is on February 24th from 6-8:30pm. Before the STIC meeting, the School Board will hold a Public Hearing for the community from 4:30 – 5:45. All events will be at the District Office, 855 Lenzen Ave.
