Hardin County Talks is an ongoing initiative that brings together community members to discuss issues of shared interest. On Tuesday, April 24, at 6 pm at Kenton High School, there will be a county-wide discussion on the role of schools in addressing issues of race.

Topics covered will include faculty diversity and what is being done to ensure that the faculty and staff are representative of the community. The goal is to highlight current initiatives in our schools and understand how those attending might support and strengthen them.

Panelists will be education faculty members from Ohio Northern University, Adrienne Goss and Diana Garlough. They will also speak about the value of diversity in staff and curriculum.

A community Q and A will follow the presentations.

Hardin County Talks are free and open to the public. They have a town hall feel and are appropriate for families and people of all ages.
