East Central ISD plans town halls, clergy outreach and neighborhood engagement ahead of May election
Summary
District staff described outreach plans that include convening clergy leaders, hosting a Lakeside-area town hall in lieu of multiple HOA meetings, and other community engagement related to a May election and growth issues.
District staff told trustees they are organizing community engagement events ahead of a May election and to address growth in several neighborhoods. Staff said they worked with a leadership-academy participant, identified roughly two dozen clergy leaders for outreach and planned a clergy meeting to discuss ways churches and the district can support a growing community.
For Highland Forest and surrounding neighborhoods, staff said that several homeowners associations meet infrequently; instead of attending each HOA separately the district plans a larger, single town-hall meeting intended to increase public access and reach more residents. Staff described the town hall as an opportunity to cover community growth topics and provide information about the upcoming May election.
Staff asked trustees for line-of-sight on planned engagement and said they expected good RSVPs from the community. The transcript recorded no formal board vote on the outreach plan; staff framed the item as informational and previewed additional invitations and community conversations to come.
