The Bryant School District will present the Annual Report to the Public during a special board meeting on Monday, October 3 at 6pm.

Along with academic progress, the report provides information on district finances, student enrollment and demographics, teacher quality, and high school scores. Parents and other members of the community are invited. If you are not able to attend, the Annual Report video and document will be shared following the meeting.
