Orange County Schools Announces Community Listening Sessions

Community members are encouraged to help build the future of OCS in the next five-year strategic plan.

Superintendent Dr. Danielle Jones invited all to learn about the state of Orange County Schools and get involved in setting priorities to help students succeed in life: 

“We are excited to build the OCS 2026-2031 Strategic Plan with our whole community,” said Dr. Jones.
