Highline Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Ivan Duran is eager to meet the Highline community, and he’s seeking public feedback.
Duran is launching his first year in Highline with a districtwide listening tour to hear from students, families, staff and community members.
“I am intently focused on understanding how students are experiencing the Highline Promise to know every student by name, strength and need,” Duran said. “I want to learn how we can build upon current successes and what additional steps we can take to deliver on the Promise for every student.”
Seven community meetings are scheduled to gather input, which will be synthesized and shared with the community in January 2023. It will be used to guide an update of the district’s strategic plan this spring.
