Next “Coffee And Questions With The Superintendent” Held On November 17
By Ronnie Tarchichi, Superintendent of Schools, Pennsauken School District
We had a great “Coffee and Questions with the Superintendent” meeting with members of the community at the Pennsauken Country Club on Nov. 4. Beginning Thursday, Nov. 17, “Coffee and Questions with the Superintendent” will take place from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the High School Cafeteria, 800 Hylton Rd. In order to make these opportunities more convenient for residents, they will now be held each month two hours prior to the Board of Education’s business meeting.
These are times where concerned parents or Pennsauken residents can come and ask questions regarding any topic within the school district in a casual, informal setting.
I look forward to seeing you, hearing your concerns and growing both personally and professionally from you.
