Board approves publication of withdrawal guidance and creation of a one‑way school‑board Facebook page

The communications committee asked the board to publish a factual guidance document describing withdrawal procedures and the SAU transition process; the board voted to publish the document on the district website and email it to local town administrators.

The committee also proposed establishing a ConVal School Board Facebook page as a one‑way communications channel with comments disabled and SAU staff administering posts. Committee members said the page would be limited to official board communications, meeting alerts and links to materials, and that more interactive outreach (video, Instagram, forums) would be handled through other channels or future communications efforts. The motion to create the page with restricted‑use guidelines passed by roll call.

Administrators and committee members emphasized the page is intended to inform and not to replace two‑way public engagement; they said forthcoming communications will include additional public forums and targeted outreach on high‑interest items such as withdrawal steps and potential bond votes.
