February’s Breakfast with the Newsmakers

Get to know the superintendent of the Recovery School District, one of the most powerful figures in local government.

On Thursday, Feb. 13, reporter Jessica Williams will interview Patrick Dobard at The Lens’ increasingly popular “Breakfast with the Newsmakers” event. Come one, come all. The event is open to the public; the coffee and pastries are delicious, and we make a point of finishing up within an hour so folks can get to work.

Williams and Dobard will chat about the Recovery School District’s long-term vision for schools here and in other parts of the state.
