The Clarkston School Board invites community members to join them for their monthly Clarkston Coffee Chat on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Café LaTays (1485 15th Street, Clarkston). The Clarkston Coffee Chat provides an opportunity for community members to engage in informal, one-on-one conversations with school board members outside of the formal board meeting setting. This month, Board Directors Chris Bunce and Dan Randles will be in attendance. “Sometimes community members do not feel comfortable addressing the school board during public meetings,” said Board Director Chris Bunce. “This Coffee Chat provides them with a more personal setting to share their thoughts and ask questions.” Attendees are encouraged to join Chris and Dan in the inside gathering area on the south side of Café LaTays.
