Including this meeting, Mayor Lee plans to hold six meetings with parent representatives from elementary, middle, and high schools in the district by the end of the year. Earlier in the first half of the year, he held seven meetings with principals and parents from 187 elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as two special schools, to establish support measures from the city and the Education Support Office.

The meeting was attended by parent representatives from 26 schools in Cheoin-gu, as well as city and Education Support Office officials, including Kim Hee-jung, Director of the Yongin Education Support Office. Mayor Lee said, "I am working with the determination to do my best to help while listening to the stories of parent representatives from each school."

To this end, the city received 27 suggestions from parents in advance and explained the results of specific reviews during the meeting. Topics discussed included strengthening patrols around schools through senior citizen job projects, alternative use of nearby neighborhood parks due to school expansion construction, supplementation of fences and traffic lights in child protection zones, and improvement of congestion on school routes.

At the meeting, Mayor Lee also explained the operation plan for the Semiconductor High School scheduled to open in 2026. He stated his intention to negotiate with the government to prioritize selecting 30% of the Semiconductor High School students from the Yongin area, as the school will recruit students nationwide as a Meister High School.

Meanwhile, on the 24th, Mayor Lee is scheduled to hold a meeting with parent representatives from elementary schools in Suji-gu at the Dongcheon Library in Suji-gu.
