Superintendent schedules "coffee & conversation" dates

Please join Manchester School District superintendent Dr. Bolgen Vargas for a series of informal gatherings to talk about education in our city.

A morning and afternoon session will be hosted each month at a different school. All are welcome, no matter where in Manchester you live, which school you work in, or where your children go to school. Choose the date, time, and location that is most convenient for you, or feel free to attend more than one session before the end of the school year.

Dr. Vargas is eager to hear from faculty and staff, parents, and other members of the community who have questions or wish to offer thoughts on how to best meet the educational needs of all of our children.
