PPIE is excited to co-host our 6th annual State of the School District, taking place on Feb. 20th at the Firehouse Arts Center. This event is a great opportunity to get involved with PPIE, learn more about our work, and connect with key leaders in the community.

Co-hosted with PUSD, the event will feature a presentation from Interim Superintendent Dr. Maurice Ghysels, as well as a guest appearance by newly elected Pleasanton Mayor Jack Balch. The event is a great chance to learn about the collaboration between the city and school district, and to network with business, city, and education leaders.
