Summary

Superintendent Sue thanked the committee and cautioned that many of the recommended engagement activities are already part of staff workflows; she urged leveraging existing meetings and site processes to avoid duplicative work and suggested clear coordination with principals and site leaders.

Superintendent Sue told the committee she welcomed the engagement plan but warned about staff capacity if the board adds new, separate processes. She recommended commissioners coordinate with existing site events and staff to avoid duplication and to make sure principals and site leaders understand what commissioner visits would entail.

Committee members agreed and discussed ways to align visits with existing structures such as School Site Plans (SPSA), ELAC meetings and family liaison work. Chair Gupta and commissioners asked staff to identify opportunities to leverage existing events and to consider the workload implications when scheduling the board's learning walks and CBO listening sessions.
