Parkland planning 20 town hall meetings

Parkland College officials want to know how they can help you, and they'll be holding about 20 town hall meetings over the next four months to find out.

The goal is to learn more about the needs of residents in the college's district and how its educational programs and services can meet those needs, and to make communities aware of those programs and services. Officials will use what they hear at the meetings to help develop a strategic plan.
