How are our public schools doing? How did students fare through Covid? Where should Wharton ISD go from here?
Public education is foremost on the minds of many people — Wharton is no exception.
Toward that end, Wharton Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture has invited Dr. Michael O’Guin, Wharton ISD school superintendent, to be the speaker at out next Lunch and Learn.
It will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 3, at Wharton Civic Center. It comes with lunch, and you can get your tickets now.
Because of Covid, 2020 has become the year we would like to forget but will remember forever. And many challenges lie ahead. Dr. O’Guin will tell us where we are and the road to get to where we need to go.
The Lunch and Learn will be at the Wharton Civic Center. Tickets are $10. You will get a covid-safe box lunch.
