Residents can let Taylor Independent School District’s superintendent know in person about any thoughts or concerns on several topics starting this week.
On Tuesday, June 28, the Taylor ISD will host a town hall with Superintendent Devin Padavil on school safety, budgets, tax rates and finances at 6 p.m. Another town hall will be July 26 on hiring and retaining teachers as well as school safety.
“We’re planning on doing these once a month. This was a suggestion of (board trustee) Mr. (Jim) Buzan,” said Padavil at the June 20 school board meeting. “After we had our public hearing related to our Chapter 313 agreements that level of conversation seemed appreciated. Even if three or four people show up, it’s worth it.”
Board member Anita Volek agreed that the town halls were a great idea and suggested different locations throughout the city for future sessions.
June and July’s meetings will be at the Taylor ISD Event Center, 3101 N. Main St. in Taylor
