Brent May headshot

Join us for Sit Down with the Supt, a series of opportunities to meet with Superintendent Brent May and have a conversation about the future of Plain Local Schools.

Whether it’s easier to stop by after morning student drop-off or meet us at a community location, we want to answer your questions, share factual information about our facility planning, and hear what’s on your mind.

No sign-up. No RSVP. Just casual, open conversations at our schools and throughout the community. Parents, residents, and community members are all welcome.
