Salina Public Schools’ Superintendent Linn Exline is inviting community members to join her for a conversation about our schools. Opportunities include:

Sept. 1 from 5:15-6:15 p.m. at Sunset Elementary School, 1510 W. Republic Avenue

Sept. 2 from 9-10 a.m. at Sunset Elementary School

Exline plans to share an update about the district’s strategic plan, including the central role belonging plays in that plan. There will be time for discussion and questions. 

At SPS Chats, community members can learn more about district priorities. The current strategic plan was the result of input collected from community, staff, and student sessions. Adopted in November 2020, it included a new vision and mission statement. Its three primary goals are communication skills, critical thinking skills, and social-emotional skills.

SPS Chats are a part of the active collaboration and exchange between Salina residents and their schools. In March 2022, the board of education held an open information and listening session that offered insights about how boards of education work. SPS Chats, featuring discussion and district priorities, will be held throughout the school year. Additionally, Exline will gather feedback and input from staff and students at meetings throughout the school year.
