This podcast is a visit with College Station ISD communications director Austin Dunson and WTAW's Bill Oliver.

College Station ISD is promoting two events involving community members.CSISD communications director Austin Dunson says parents are invited to fill out an online survey to see how the school district can improve. This survey, which takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete, allows parents to share their opinions on academics, communications and how they interact with their schools and the district, transportation, child nutrition, student services, special education, extracurricular and co-curricular activities.

CSISD is starting a series called "Coffee Chats", which Dunson says is an opportunity for community members to learn more about the district in a casual setting. The first gathering is Monday (October 21), and the topic "All Things Academics" features presenters from CSISD's curriculum and instruction department. Monday's event is from 1 until 2 p.m. in the CSISD board room at 1812 Welsh Avenue.
