PCS On the Road Again: The Road Ahead Listening Tour Returns
The Road Ahead Listening Tour is back, and Pitt County Schools is hitting the road once again. Superintendent Dr. Lassiter and district leaders hosted two community sessions earlier in March that were designed to provide an inside look at the latest updates as well as to gather community input to map out the future for Pitt County Schools.
There is one final session scheduled that offers families, staff, and community members a chance to hear directly from district leadership, ask questions, and contribute to the vision for our schools.
April 9, 6:00 p.m. – Farmville Central & South Central Attendance Areas
Location: PCC Eddie and Jo Allison Smith Center
1934 Warren Dr., Winterville, NC
These sessions are open to everyone, and your voice truly matters. If you didn’t get a chance to attend one of the sessions earlier in March PCS encourages all families and community members to attend and help guide the road ahead for Pitt County Schools.
