Community Meetings

Parents! There are some upcoming community meetings for you. Here are some chances to ask your questions and to get answers. Please, lets start showing the board, the Superintendent and our kids that we are watching and that we're not happy with what we've seen so far. Here's what the MDUSD website reports. (see PDF schedule)

Community Meeting Schedule Parents are invited to set the agenda for a series of community meetings being held in each high school attendance area over the next several weeks. At each, parents will have the opportunity to engage members of the Board of Education and District Administration in small-group conversations about topics they have suggested beforehand.
