MOSES LAKE — Moses Lake School District patrons will have the chance to ask questions and talk face-to-face with district superintendent Monty Sabin and Moses Lake School Board member Shannon Hintz once each month, beginning in February.
Hintz said during Thursday’s regular board meeting that she and Sabin will be at the Red Door Cafe, 202 W. Third Ave., at 9:30 a.m. Feb. 15, and plan to make it a monthly meeting.
“Monty or myself will be there for anybody to come in and talk, to voice concerns, ask questions if you want to know why things happened or why things don’t happen. We’re there to help you understand it,” Hintz said. “So if anybody would like to come down and just talk, say whatever you want to say – we’ll be there.”
Hintz said she wanted to give district residents another avenue to meet and talk with school officials after the meeting.
“To have more community connection,” she said.
Monthly meeting dates will be announced.
