Community Forum

Hay Springs School will be hosting a Public Forum on Monday, October 20th at 6:30 p.m. in the Hay Springs Auditorium.

All community members, parents, and stakeholders are invited to attend.
We will be addressing the following topics:

25-26 tax rate
Curriculum updates
Student counts
Investments/upgrades in the school
Calendar

There will be a question and answer session at the end. Please feel free to bring your questions.

Operational Norms
While we will be discussing school finance, facilities, academics- this forum will not be an appropriate venue to discuss specific concerns with individual teachers, students or coaches. I encourage you to bring any of those types of concerns up with the appropriate staff member or administrator.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact George Clear at 638-4434.
