The North Wasco County School District 21 board will hold a community listening session during its meeting Thursday evening. The meeting comes in the wake of last week’s defeat at the ballot box of the district’s bond measure to construct new facilities over a 20 year period to replace their aging buildings. In a statement on the meeting agenda, the board states its goal “is to listen deeply to as many people as possible.” Each person will be asked to sign a roster and will be given 3-5 minutes to speak depending on the number of participants. The board will also welcome written input from anyone. Thursday evening’s meeting begins at 6 p.m. in The Dalles Middle School commons.
