Community Conversation About Education Set For May

The event gathers Montville parents, teachers, students, PTOs, community leaders, elected officials, Board of Education members, senior citizens and members of the business community in a discussion on ‘Creating a Culture for Learning.’

The event is possible through a William Graustein Memorial Fund grant. According to its website, the fund’s mission is to improve the effectiveness of education in fostering both personal development and leadership.
