A Community Forum to discuss these programs will be held on Monday, April 8, at both 12 pm and 6:30 pm, in the Staff Development Room in the Wilson School District Administration Building (2601 Grandview Blvd., West Lawn).
We anticipate that these meetings will last approximately one hour. We are appreciative of all the community feedback that has been already received, and look forward to additional opportunities to discuss these programs with our community.
