Over 40 people representing different district and community stakeholders participated in a district board work session led by Kansas Association of School Boards Deputy Director Doug Moeckel. Participants were divided into small groups to discuss strengths and challenges for moving the district forward as well as short and long-term goals. Each individual completed a discussion worksheet based on group ideas and collaborative input. This information will be compiled to determine common themes and then shared with the board to determine future goals to guide Emporia Public Schools in 2018 and beyond
