Pomona Unified School District Superintendent Richard Martinez will be the guest speaker at Thursday's meeting of the Willie White Park Focus Group.

The group will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Willie White Park Community Center, 3065 Battram St.

Martinez will talk about plans for the district's future, according to a statement from the group.

The group meets monthly and schedules guest speakers representing various local and and state government officials and along with city offices and others.
