New board members introduce themselves; communication and transparency flagged as top growth areas
Summary
New and returning members of the Warrenton-Hammond SD 30 board introduced themselves during a paired exercise; multiple board members identified communication and transparency as primary areas for improvement and asked for clearer pre-meeting materials and more work sessions.
Board members gave brief personal introductions early in the session. Crystal Green said she joined to guide the district for students and staff; Alex Cavalona said he planned to ask tough questions and engage deeply in governance; Mark Simonson described prior service and community involvement; Adam Murray said he wanted to remain active on behalf of students; Crystal Pike noted local roots and a coaching background; Tabitha McGorty described experience with policy and the community. "I'm Crystal Green," one member said during introductions, and another added, "I'm Crystal Pike," as each explained why they joined the board.
After the exercise, several members raised communication and transparency as priority areas for growth, saying some community members arrive at meetings unsure what will be discussed. One member recommended clearer agenda labeling and pre-meeting packets so board members and the public can prepare. The board discussed holding more work sessions and using superintendent-led communications to ensure consistent information is shared with all members prior to formal votes.
