The November chat is scheduled to include the following, according to USD 305.

Social-emotional learning is one of three primary goals in USD 305's current strategic plan. The other two are communication and critical thinking skills. Adopted in November 2020, it includes the district’s vision and mission statements.
"SPS Chats are a part of the active collaboration and exchange between Salina residents and their schools. The first SPS Chat took place at Sunset Elementary School in September 2022. These opportunities feature discussion and district priorities and are planned throughout the school year. Additionally, Superintendent Exline is gathering feedback and input from staff and students at meetings throughout this school year," the district noted in a news release.
