Trustees and staff debate rebuilding school culture through extracurriculars and better communication
Summary
Board and staff discussed rebuilding school culture by increasing extracurricular participation, better outreach (texts, Infinite Campus), and low‑cost community engagement tactics; several concrete suggestions—activity fairs, halftime elementary performances and more text alerts—were proposed.
Trustees and staff devoted a lengthy segment to strategies for rebuilding school culture and involving families. One board member argued that getting more students into extracurriculars would help: "If we could get every kid involved in an extracurricular, that would help," they said, and proposed concrete outreach tactics such as activity fairs, halftime elementary performances and recruiting drives to increase participation.
Administrators and coaches described existing efforts—expanded social media, newsletters and a "Thursday" admin update—and proposed more frequent, redundant messaging (texts, Infinite Campus notifications) to reach parents. Several trustees stressed low‑cost, high‑visibility steps (recognition emails, small facility repairs, making event times more parent‑friendly) that could produce immediate morale gains while longer‑term culture work continues.
