Board reviews outreach trifold, plans January public forum and approves 2026 meeting schedule
Summary
Trustees reviewed a draft outreach trifold (vendor to supply a new photo), discussed distribution and community tours, and voted to approve the 2026 East Windsor Board of Education meeting schedule by voice vote.
Board members reviewed a draft community outreach trifold for the school facilities project, discussed distribution strategies and recommended scheduling a board-hosted public forum in January.
Members noted the ad hoc committee’s feedback had been incorporated into the draft but that the design vendor needs to provide an updated photo that clearly distinguishes the middle and high school. Brand suggested adding a visible label such as "two schools, one building" to reduce confusion; others recommended layout flips and adding small visual cues such as a flag for broader appeal.
Jessica reported production costs for the trifold were "under $1,000," and the group favored making materials available at public buildings and community events (for example, the Broadbrook concert, chamber breakfast, and block parties) rather than wide mailing. The board discussed offering guided building tours tied to public events and using sign-ups to manage staff resources.
On new business the board approved the 2026 meeting calendar. Courtney moved "to approve the 2026 East Windsor Board of Education meeting schedule," Gabby seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote after brief clarifications about the official mailing address in the packet and start-time policy.
The board agreed the ad hoc will continue to meet and that the board, not the ad hoc, will set the final date for the January public forum and logistics for tours.
