Meet Superintendent Banda This Week
I had already planned on attending this event but wasn't sure it was open to the public; it is.
To note: still nothing from the Mayor or Councilman Burgess on Superintendent Banda's appointment. I have to wonder about that and I hope they both show up to this event.
