Federal Way schools Superintendent Robert Neu will host a series of educational events called “Focused Forums” in the coming months.

The topics and dates are:

• Feb. 1: Equity and achievement gap/closing the achievement gap

• March 15: Special academic programs, announcements

• May 17: Standards-based education

All forums are at 6 p.m. in the board room of the Educational Service Center, 31405 18th Ave. SE in Federal Way. After an overview of a topic, attendees will break into groups to hold discussions. Each group will make a summary of its conversation and give it out to the other groups. District staff and members of the school board will be there and participate in the group activities. Contact Chris Popich at (253) 945-2013 or cpopich@fwps.org.
