DR. Phillip C. Schlechty

District welcomes leader in education reform

By Matt Nagle

On May 20, Fife School District will host one of the nation’s leading minds in education for “An Education Summit in the Valley: An Evening with Best Selling Author and National Speaker Dr. Phillip C. Schlechty.” The event, which will be held in the Columbia Junior High Performing Arts Center, will be both a celebration of the district’s successes in its partnership with Schlechty Center for Leadership in School Reform and a community engagement forum intended to inform the public about the work the district has been doing for about the past eight years based on the center’s uniquely comprehensive and systematic approach to school improvement.

The public is invited to attend this event by picking up a free ticket from any of the sponsors: Fife Lions Club, Fife Milton Area Rotary, Fife Regional Chamber of Commerce, Fife Education Association (teacher’s union), Fife Kiwanis, Discovery/Endeavour PTA, Hedden PTA, Surprise Lake Middle School Partners in Education (PIE), and the Columbia Junior High and Fife High School Boosters. Seating is limited and only ticket holders will be admitted.
