Staff ask board to visit schools and share positive updates; board prefers invitations
Summary
Staff asked board members to increase in-person presence and send occasional encouraging emails; the board said members want to attend but prefer invitations and Mitch will continue Friday updates to highlight staff and student successes.
Staff said they would appreciate more board presence in buildings and the occasional positive communication, such as an email or short note recognizing classroom or school successes. They asked the board to send invitations when members are welcome rather than having members show up unannounced.
Board members agreed they would like to be more visible when appropriate and encouraged staff to send invites. Mitch confirmed he sends Friday updates to the board and solicited staff submissions for items to include in those updates. No policy change or formal directive was adopted; this was recorded as a communication and engagement preference for ongoing practice.
