State of the District Meeting
As part of our annual strategy, Dr. Killian will be presenting a State of the District for the public. This presentation will be aired via Zoom on February 2 at 6 p.m.
During this presentation, he will provide updates on various projects within the District, including the construction of our two new campuses set to open next Fall.
This presentation will be an annual event moving forward as a way for him to provide updates, information, clarity, and transparency for our community. As PfISD continues to grow, there will be more needs that our District requires in order to fulfill our mission and achieve our vision to passionately serve in the best interest of students every day. The State of the District is just one way we hope to provide important information to our community and receive your valuable feedback regarding our District.
