“This is an opportunity for Benton Harbor community members to provide their feedback about our draft academic and financial operating plan,” said Deputy State Treasurer Joyce Parker, who chairs the Community Engagement Advisory Committee for Benton Harbor Area Schools. “It’s important to the development of the plan that we hear from community members.”
