Our program for January 8 features Dr. Steve Joel, Superintendent of Lincoln Public Schools. He’ll be providing an update on the enrollment growth projected for LPS, some possible ways to deal with that growth, the prospect of one or two new high schools, a bond issue for school construction and recognition of LPS in recent months. This promises to be one of our best programs in 2019. Be sure to invite friends to join you at our meeting.
