Antioch City Council is taking steps to enhance community engagement and educational partnerships following recent discussions during their June 10, 2025, meeting. The council highlighted the importance of collaboration with local schools, particularly Antioch High School, to foster positive interactions between students and the community.

The council noted that plans are underway to initiate partnerships that will keep the community informed and provide alternative programs for residents. This initiative aims to strengthen ties between high school students and younger children in elementary and middle schools through various projects and activities.

Additionally, the council discussed the potential for extending library hours to better serve the community. Conversations with the principal of Antioch High School are anticipated to begin after the summer, focusing on how the library can be utilized more effectively, including possible weekend hours.

Council members expressed a desire for more specific data regarding the usage of local services, including statistics on how often community resources, such as the library and outreach programs, are utilized in Antioch. This information will help the council assess the needs of the community and improve service delivery.

As these initiatives move forward, the Antioch City Council is committed to enhancing educational opportunities and community resources, ensuring that residents have access to valuable programs and services.
