Second Education Information Gathering held at Red Lake Nation College

RED LAKE, MN - The second Education Information Gathering was held on Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at the Red Lake Nation College Cafeteria.

Facilitated by Sam Strong, Red Lake Economic Development Director, and Red Lake School's Superintendent Dr. Anne Lundquist, about 30 people attended the two hour session, which started at 6 PM with supper.

All community members were welcome at the meeting, where thoughts and ideas about the current school system was shared, suggestions were made for improvement and the future vision of Red Lake Schools.

One topic of discussion, which the Red Lake School Board has been exploring the last couple of years, was the idea of a year-round school where there wouldn't be 3 consecutive months of summer vacation, and language revitalization.

A third meeting is being planned.
