Each week, Chancellor Wright Lassiter Jr. sends a “Weekend Memo” to all DCCCD employees. His brief but powerful commentaries inform and inspire, and also give the district community a chance to get to know their CEO a little better. In addition, the Weekend Memo features news from each district location.
Below are some of the most recent Weekend Memos.
