Board discusses VillageFest plans and upcoming community conversation
Summary
Board members discussed long-standing VillageFest participation and details for a May 28 community conversation titled 'Nurturing Brilliance, Together' to gather community input; the board typically marches in the parade and staffs a vendor booth at the festival.
School board members discussed community engagement opportunities during the May 20 work session, including the district’s participation in the annual VillageFest parade (Friday, Aug. 1) and vendor fair (Saturday, Aug. 2). The packet lists parade time (7:00 p.m., along St. Anthony Blvd.) and vendor fair hours (setup 9–11 a.m., event 12–5 p.m.).
The board also plans a community conversation titled “Nurturing Brilliance, Together” on May 28 at St. Anthony Village High School Commons (Door 16), a structured listening session for students, families, staff and residents. The event will open with a short board presentation on governance and then move to small‑group discussions on strengths, challenges and aspirations. Communications staff (Jada Richard) are coordinating RSVP logistics, interpreter and childcare options.
Board materials emphasized that the May 28 session is a listening event — not a decision forum — intended to inform future strategy and improve two‑way communication between the district and the community.
