District 202 Community Coffee is Feb. 7

Residents invited to meet with Supt. Lane Abrell and staff.

District 202 Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lane Abrell will host the third of this year’s four Community Coffees with the Superintendent on Saturday, Feb. 7.

The coffee is set for 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. at the district administrative center, 15732 Howard St., Plainfield. The coffees are free and registration is not required.

The coffees are a popular way to meet and get information from Abrell, key administrators and Board of Education members. The coffees started in 2008 as a way to give community members direct access to top District officials.

“The coffees also let district staff hear the concerns and thoughts of our residents without any filters, which helps us know what is good and what needs fixing,” Abrell said.

Attendees “set” each coffee’s agenda through their questions. Community members may ask about and discuss any appropriate subject, as time allows.
