Lakota’s new “Community Conversation” program, which began in late September and involves various community members hosting forums to help inform the school district on how to better serve its students, has five conversations set up in the next two weeks.
“The goal is reach out into the community, to get to hear from people we often don’t get to see,” Lakota Superintendent Karen Mantia said. “If you have an interest in the school district or in the growth of the community … we invite you to either host a conversation or be a part of it.”
