Facility Usage Discussion

Columbian families, join us for a Facility Usage Discussion on March 17 from 5:30-8 p.m. at Columbian Elementary. Columbian Elementary will be proposed as a permanent Early Childhood Education Center (ECE) beginning in 2025-26 school year. A third-party facilitator will be leading this meeting to discuss community feedback, and Dr. Marrero will be present to discuss how we make this proposal come to life. This meeting is open to all, but we want to ensure the voices of Columbian families are heard!

Interpretation services, childcare and light refreshments will be provided. See you on March 17!
