From childcare to homework to college applications, parents in San Luis Obispo County have a lot to contend with — and we want to cover the stories that matter most to you.

The Tribune is launching a new initiative designed around this community, and we’re looking to hear directly from SLO County parents about what you want from local news coverage.

Do you have questions about your child’s school? Do you have a teen getting ready to drive or look for a job? Does your high school senior need help finding scholarships?

These are just a handful of the questions Tribune reporters want to answer for busy parents.

But we need your help to fill out our list of ideas.

What questions do you have? Is there a problem you want investigated? Solutions you want found?

Use our survey to let us know how we can best serve you and your community. Or email sdittenber@thetribunenews.com.
