The second cohort of the 2023-2024 Student Leaders group engaged in immensely meaningful conversations this morning with Superintendent Dr. Eric Bracy.
Their perspectives on school related topics, such as security and safety, curriculum and instruction, social interaction, and more, was extremely productive and thought provoking.
