Gering Public Schools is hosting a community engagement series titled "Talk About It Around Town," giving local residents an opportunity to connect directly with school district leadership. Interim Superintendent Dr. Kory Knight invites parents, staff, and community members to join him for casual and open conversations regarding priorities for Gering Public Schools. These informal sessions will take place at several popular local spots across town during September and October.
