Superintendent says district will expand outreach and press legislators on school funding
Summary
District leadership said it will produce videos and infographics, hold listening sessions across the district and meet with legislative liaisons to advocate for changes to funding formulas; staff named planned meetings and partnerships to explain impacts to classrooms.
District leadership told the school board it will expand community-facing communications explaining how the millage and other state policies affect classrooms and budgets.
"We utilize our social media platforms as well as our web page to educate the public," the superintendent (addressed in the transcript as Doctor Strayer) said, adding that the district has created a video about the millage process and plans infographics and listening sessions to clarify items such as QBE and voucher impacts.
The superintendent also said the district is meeting with legislative contacts to explain how proposed and existing laws could unintentionally affect classroom funding and to push for resources the district needs. Officials invited parents to attend upcoming listening and learning sessions across the district.
