Summer Parking at Johnston Regional Education Center
Due to the influx of visitors to the Johnston Regional Education Center during the summer, the parking lot at the REC is at times filled to the brim. To ease this congestion and allow our visitors easier access to the building, staff members who work at the REC are encouraged to park in the Administration Center parking lot. If you could keep this suggestion in mind for the summer months, we would appreciate it!
