Lindbergh Schools Board of Education members and administrators recently met with representatives from local churches to provide an update on district programs and discuss how both institutions can work together to meet the needs of students.

In particular, administrators and clergy discussed the growing number of young families who are moving to the area and how best to serve them, according to a district news release.

“Churches and schools play vital roles in our community, and each institution becomes stronger when we work well together,” Superintendent Jim Simpson stated in the release. “This annual collaboration allows us to share ideas about ways to serve our community well.”
