To help

Fayette County school officials "know what's in the

minds of businesses, parents, local officials and

others," a community round table is being developed,

said school superintendent Dr. John DeCotis.

Approximately 80 people

have been invited to the first round table Saturday, June

12 at 10 a.m. DeCotis invited those who might be

interested in being a part of the group to call him.

After the first meeting,

the round table will be divided into sub-groups that will

focus on issues such as curriculum instruction,

operations, technology and facilities and space.

"There is no shortage

of issues," DeCotis quipped to the laughter of the

group during a Fayette County Republican Party meeting

last weekend.

"We are all here for

the students," he said. "The school system is

set up for the good of the community. We all have a

responsibility for every child out there. We can't do it

ourselves."
