PEQUOT LAKES — The Pequot Lakes School Board plans four upcoming meetings to gather input relating to its last failed facility referendum.
In an announcement, the board said it is seeking feedback from school staff, parents, guardians and community members for future decisions, including the suggested facility modifications based on the Morris Leatherman community survey.
The in-person meetings on Oct. 15 and Oct. 28 will be in the Pequot Lakes Middle and High School Media Center. Virtual meetings on Oct. 13 and Oct. 22 will take place on Google Meets.
Participants are asked to contact Pequot Lakes Superintendent Kurt Stumpf to register.
