Board members praise Education Foundation and community partners, describe literacy night and outreach
Summary
Board members reported on Education Foundation activities, community partnerships with YMCA, Liberty Hospital and Northland Health Alliance, and described a West Inglewood literacy night where students made books and could buy a book for $1.
A board member reported on recent Education Foundation activity and community outreach, saying foundation representatives reassured community members about the district’s continued commitment to students despite wider political discussions at the state level.
The board member said district leaders delegated portions of a foundation meeting to staff and that Tammy addressed the political climate to reassure attendees: “...anytime that you're meeting with the community, not about the bond, but anytime we're meeting, she made sure that Tammy on her behalf talked about kind of the political climate that we're going through and all of the, things that are going on with the Department of Education and all of those certain things.” The board member added that community members thanked Tammy for those remarks.
Board members also noted active partnerships with organizations that support students, citing the YMCA, Liberty Hospital and the Northland Health Alliance as groups that “want to help kids.”
Separately, a board member described attending a West Inglewood literacy night where students participated in flashlight reading, a storyteller visit, puppet-based character activities and a make-a-book exercise. The event included a nominal $1 option for families to purchase a book for a child to take home.
The board member described the month’s liaison activities as a learning experience and expressed enthusiasm for continued strategic planning with the Education Foundation and community partners. No votes or formal actions on foundation funding or partnerships are recorded in the transcript excerpt.
