Six meetings are scheduled this fall to address concerns of Douglas County School District parents at the lake.

The study group was the idea of the superintendent and approved by the board this summer.

The three main topics are:

• What should/could the format and course offerings look like if Whittell stays approximately the same size? (There are about 200 students in grades 7-12.)

• What should/could the format and course offerings look like if Whittell grows in enrollment?

• What should/could the format and course offerings look like if the lake schools decline in enrollment – to 350 or less for grades K-12.

Meetings are from 4:30-6:30pm at Whittell High School on Sept. 23, Oct. 7, Oct. 21 Nov. 4, Dec. 2, and Dec. 11.

Applications to be on the committee are being accepted until noon Sept. 18. Contact Superintendent Lisa Noonan at 775.782.5134. Meetings will be open to the public.
