President Hilliard praises district report and encourages public engagement

During the recent Jackson Public Schools Board Meeting held on August 5, 2025, President Hilliard emphasized the importance of staying informed about district activities, even for those unable to attend in person. His remarks highlighted the board's commitment to transparency and communication with the community.

The meeting did not feature any public participation, but President Hilliard reassured attendees that public comments are valued. He noted that while the board listens to community feedback, they do not respond during the meeting. Instead, he encouraged residents to reach out directly to school leadership or district administration with any concerns or issues.

This approach reflects the board's ongoing effort to foster open lines of communication with the public, ensuring that community voices are heard and considered in decision-making processes. Board members are accessible via email, as listed on the district's website, promoting further engagement from residents.

As the school year approaches, the board's focus on communication and community involvement will be crucial in addressing the needs and concerns of Jackson Public Schools families.
