The South Umpqua School District is hosting three community listening forums this week, starting on Tuesday.
Superintendent Kate McLaughlin said officials want to receive feedback about the district and how future funding from the Student Success Act should be used. She said the Act will help the students in the community for a long time.
School districts are required to apply for funding available through the Student Success Act and must engage their community in a needs assessment process prior to the application process. Funding from the Student Investment Account can be used for reducing class size, increasing instructional time, addressing health and safety needs and ensuring a well-rounded education, according to McLaughlin.
The meetings will be:
*Tuesday night at Myrtle Creek Elementary
*Wednesday night at Tri-City Elementary.
*Thursday night at Canyonville School.
All meetings run from 6:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. Contact the South Umpqua School District for more information.
