A Community Conversation concerning “Our Communities and Our Schools” will be held from 7 p.m to 9 p.m., Monday, Dec. 1, in the commons area of the West Elk High School.

The meeting is being organized by the Elk Konnected Steering Committee and will be moderated by Terry Woodberry, president of the Kansas Communities LLC.

The purpose of the conversation is to engage all interested citizens of the community in a unified group effort to plan the most effective educational future for area young people. As every citizen of the community will be impacted by the decisions to be made in the near future, Elk Konnected Steering Committee members are encouraging interested citizens, parents, grandparents, business owners, school administrators, staff and youth to attend and present their positive ideas and to relay the questions that will need answered before decisions are made.
