Board keeps April 22 community forum date despite overlap with staff wellness event
Summary
Trustees discussed that the April 22 community forum coincides with a staff-wellness bingo/dinner at Pacific Ridge that starts at 5:30 p.m.; after weighing options and noting outreach already shared with candidates, the board elected to leave the forum date as previously voted and will update calendar items.
Board members discussed a scheduling conflict: the April 22 community forum falls on the same evening as a quarterly staff-wellness event (bingo and dinner) at Pacific Ridge. A trustee (Speaker 2) raised the overlap and noted that the forum relies in part on an early-release schedule and that "good morning seaside" activities happen on Wednesdays; staff and trustees discussed options to allow staff to meet candidates within the school day or to offer candidate-staff interaction during the wellness event.
Staff (Speaker 4) described logistics — the wellness event starts at 05:30 p.m. and may run until about 08:30 p.m.; the forum was described as starting at 05:00 p.m. Board members considered small building-level staff groups, using teacher prep or lunch periods, and offering candidates the opportunity to interact with staff during the wellness event. After discussion and noting that candidates had already been notified, Speaker 2 summarized the decision: "So I hear that we're leaving it as, previously voted on." The board agreed to leave the April 22 forum date in place and to update calendar postings accordingly.
