Superintendent Dr. Sandra Brower will begin phase three of her transition plan as she begins to lead the Lacey Township School District after presenting her midterm report at the school board meeting on Tuesday. “From November until now, I have listened, I have watched I have written, I have taken pictures, I have done all that I could to understand what it looks like and what it feels like to live and work and learn here in Lacey Township,” Brower said.

Midterm report will reveal findings in three categories: teaching and learning, culture and community and operations

Zoerb recently held a community input session with about approximately 15 residents, another with 45 staff members, and received 10 e-mail responses from residents. She presented the feedback that she received to the school board…
