С»ÆѼµ¼º½ Changes V 2.0 Community Engagement Feedback Summary[PDF]

Community Conversations Version 2.0

Please join С»ÆѼµ¼º½ ISD for community conversations regarding Version 2 of the С»ÆѼµ¼º½ Changes scenario options. These conversations will focus on the scenarios recommended for implementation for the 2020–21 school year.

Active Listening Sessions Version 1.0

We are listening.

Join us for a conversation on С»ÆѼµ¼º½ Changes. We want your input on the preliminary scenario options to improve academics, equity and facilities across our school district. Each one is a starting point for conversations that will lead us toward finalizing scenario recommendations later this fall. The preliminary scenario options are a draft and not final.

Find your school on the list below for the meetings focused on the scenario options affecting your campus. Or, attend a districtwide meeting for a community conversation on all the scenario options.

You can also provide feedback on the scenario options by participating in ThoughtExchanges at .
