Committee reviews bond-project tracker and communications plan; proposes intern team and monthly updates
Summary
Staff presented a draft bond-project tracker and a communications calendar designed to improve transparency and public outreach. Committee members suggested adding a column for responsible parties, holding monthly updates, and using student interns or a small intern team to manage social media and building-level notices.
Committee staff presented a draft bond-project tracker and a communications plan intended to increase transparency on project status, funding, and timelines. The tracker would show each project's status against the bond, funding source, target dates and completion status; staff said they plan to use the tracker as a regular agenda item for updates.
Members recommended adding a column to identify the person responsible for each project update and discussed a monthly cadence for public updates. The committee discussed consistent messaging and the importance of naming an official messenger to ensure accuracy across town and district channels.
Staff proposed using a student internship model to staff communications tasks: a small team of students could divide work among website updates, social-media posts, and school-level notices while being supervised by district staff. Members praised the idea and raised operational considerations such as supervision and time commitments. Staff said they will revise the draft to add a responsibility column and return it for review at a future meeting.
