Summary

The presenter recommended proactively sharing executive summaries, newsletters and targeted communications (email, Infinite Campus) to ensure parents see improvements; he offered a video and a presentation at the Minnesota School Board Association.

Darren recommended that the district package the findings into short executive summaries, email or text notifications and Infinite Campus updates so parents and staff understand the improvements. "If you put in the paper that, the good news that all 3 survey reports show, improved reporting from all 3 groups on student behavior," he said, recommending positive, evidence‑based outreach.

He also offered to create heat maps and site‑level spreadsheets for district administrators and suggested the board consider sharing the district’s methods and results at the Minnesota School Board Association. Board members agreed that a coordinated communications plan and internal retreat discussion would help close gaps between student and parent perceptions.
