Summary

The district Public Relations Committee paused its 'Brewing with the Board' series due to low participation, plans a ceremonial graduation speech by Janine Freedlund, will check PTC calendars before scheduling a Chicago Dogs event, and intends to resume dinners with RTEA after negotiations conclude.

Kimberly Bianchini, chair of the Public Relations Committee, reported the committee met earlier and made several outreach decisions: pause "Brewing with the Board" because participation was lower than expected, have Janine Freedlund provide a ceremonial graduation speech for an 8th-grade ceremony, confirm parent–teacher council calendars before scheduling a Chicago Dogs event, and consider resuming dinners with the RTEA after negotiations conclude.

The committee will continue receiving weekly updates from Superintendent Jodi Megerle about upcoming events. The committee discussed changing meeting nights for some events and asked administration to explore alternatives to regular board meeting evenings.
