In what was once a troubled school district things have made a dramatic turnaround.  Coffeyville Public Schools now exceed state averages in many categories.  There are many factors that have played a role in the turn around including strategic planning.  Assistant Superintendent of Learning Services for Coffeyville Schools, Lora Stalford says one factor is the district’s partnership with parents.

Stalford says the district also stresses the positive.  She added that given the social and economic statistics of the community Coffeyville schools are performing at a high level.  Stalford spoke Tuesday to the Coffeyville Rotary Club.
