Board plans community 'celebrations of learning' and baseline engagement measures to boost attendance
Summary
The district will pilot three regional 'celebrations of learning' and baseline family/community engagement metrics this year to promote student attendance and to solicit input for the strategic framework.
Facilitators proposed using targeted, community‑friendly events to increase family engagement and to gather preferences for the district strategic priorities. Zach Taylor described plans for at least three regional 'celebrations of learning' where students present their work and families can vote or provide input on priorities.
"So what when do when do we know that parents, families most come out for their kids to or to the school?" Taylor asked, prompting suggestions that schools leverage conferences and sporting events. Board members recommended starting with simple measures (e.g., surveys, participation counts) to establish baselines and then fold the results into communications and attendance efforts.
