Whittier Union High School District will host a Community Listening Session at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 25 at the United Sierra Education Center Board Room, 9401 S. Painter Ave., (enter parking lot off Mulberry Avenue). Members of our District community are welcomed to attend the session and submit input regarding the selection of the next superintendent.

To begin the process of selecting the District’s next superintendent, the Board of Trustees decided during its Jan. 11 Board meeting to gather written and oral comments from a wide array of stakeholders within the District community.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) launched a pilot program with school districts and community colleges this fall to provide students with free public transportation. During our Nov. 9 Board of Trustees meeting, the District signed an agreement with Metro to participate in the program.
