Education On Tap

Jeff Patterson, Superintendent of the Lakewood City Schools, has scheduled a series of community engagement meetings to inform citizens about the goals of the district, its financial standing, and to solicit the input of the community on solving the significant fiscal issues the district faces.

Education on Tap is an opportunity for young professionals to share their thoughts and to learn more about this community asset on February 27 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Around the Corner. This event is geared towards a younger demographic. Although many of you do not have children in the school district, many of you will. Kyle Baker, current Lakewood Alumni Foundation Board of Trustee, said that, “even if you don’t live in Lakewood, Education on Tap will really open your eyes about the continued health of the Lakewood City Schools over the next few years. After hearing the information and the path of the schools, I think many of you will want to move back to Lakewood.” Moreover, for current Lakewood residents, “We may not yet have children in the school district, but many of us are property owners and it’s important for us to understand the impact a quality school district has on our property values,” said Margaret Brinich, current Lakewood Alumni Foundation Board of Trustee.

To be clear, this is not a fundraiser or a charity event, so do not worry about being solicited for your hard-earned money. Education on Tap is simply a program to allow the Superintendent of the Lakewood City Schools to get the message about the school system’s health out to young professionals in the community.
