We would like to invite you to our school board meeting on Tuesday, October 7th. The Norwalk City School District Board of Education wants you to meet the entire team that was hired to complete our new PK-8 school on Shady Lane Drive.
This team includes the architect, the construction manager at-risk, the commissioning agent, and our owners rep. Each group will be in attendance to explain their role and to discuss important timelines ...from breaking ground next year to welcoming our first students into the building.
If you want to hear about the exciting things happening now, as well as those things that will be happening, this is the perfect meeting for you. The meeting starts at 6:30 PM at the Fisher-Titus Learning Center at Norwalk High School. I expect it to last for approximately one hour. You can sit quietly and listen, or you may ask questions. We absolutely love open and honest dialogue. The monthly board meeting will not begin until that portion has finished.
Again, please join us at Norwalk High School this coming Tuesday at 6:30 PM.
