The District grouped the meetings by vertical clusters of schools (e.g., early childhood/prekindergarten schools, elementary campuses, intermediate and middle schools that feed into a high school). Community members should attend the meeting at the high school located within the geographic area that they live in. Each meeting will have information specific to their vertical cluster of schools.
