Community Town Hall: the Cost of Shortchanging SWCS

Public schools are at a crossroads. As state and federal policymakers consider major changes to education funding and the future of public education, it's more important than ever for families and community members to have their voices heard. Join parents, educators, school leaders, and neighbors for a community conversation about the challenges facing our local public schools and what they mean for students. We'll discuss how recent policy decisions and proposed funding changes could impact our district, hear from local education leaders, and create space for questions, dialogue, and community input. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, educator, student, or community member who cares about strong public schools, your voice matters. Together, we'll learn, connect, and explore how we can work as a community to ensure every child has access to the high-quality public education they deserve. Who should attend? Parents, caregivers, educators, administrators, school staff, students, and anyone who wants to learn more about public education. We hope you'll join us and be part of the conversation about the future of our schools.
