USD 480 and the Liberal community are faced with several challenges. Overcrowding, aging buildings, and changing educational programs are impacting our students and teachers on a daily basis. This is, and will continue to, financially impact the district with increasing operational costs in the following years unless we all can find a reasonable solution to improve resources, spaces, and facilities. The district wants to respond to the community needs, and together, the community and district will improve the educational environment for its students. Please join us and be a part of the process that will have a positive impact on our students and our community.
Below is a schedule for the 1st of 3 rounds of community talks that are planned. The school district will be going to the public at these times and locations to include the community in all phases of the process. Your input is crucial in developing a community wide plan.
