The meetings will include information about the Priority Academic Student Skills — or PASS — standards that will be used during the next two years and how the loss of the No Child Left Behind waiver will affect local schools.

The first meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Sept. 29 at Durant High School and the final meeting will be Nov. 17 at First Baptist Church in Kingfisher.

Other meetings will be held in Talihina, Guymon, Chickasha, Midwest City, Owasso, Pryor, Weatherford, Altus, Ponca City and Okmulgee.
