For Our Future School District Forum

The Deer Park School District invites community members to participate in a Community Forum. The forum’s purpose is to engage with residents, gather input, and provide updates on the district’s planning process.

Deer Park School District is committed to involving the community in decisions that affect its schools and students. They have organized a community forum to create an open and inclusive dialogue with local residents. The meeting will occur on July 25th at the Deer Park School District office, 428 N Main, Deer Park, WA 99006.

The district will offer two identical sessions, one at 10am and the second at 4pm, to accommodate various schedules. Community members can attend the forum either in person at the District Office or participate via Zoom. Use the following links to access the Zoom sessions.

10am session: DPSD-org.zoom.us/j/89939677164

4pm session: DPSD-org.zoom.us/j/82737398661.

The primary objective of the Community Forum is to engage residents in the district’s planning process and seek their valuable input. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the ongoing planning efforts and the progress made to date.

This forum also serves as a platform for residents to share their perspectives, ask questions, and express concerns. The school district aims to build stronger ties with the community and ensure that the educational decisions align with the needs and aspirations of its residents.

For inquiries or additional information about the forum, please reach out to Alexa Allman at [email protected].
