Parent asks whether new organizational flowchart will let families contact the board directly
Summary
At the public-comment portion, Mrs. Levy asked if the district's new organizational flowchart would be posted for parents and whether the chart would eliminate the option for parents to write directly to the board; the superintendent and board clarified parents may still email the board but recommended following the chain of command.
During public comment, Mrs. Levy asked whether the newly created organizational flowchart would be posted so parents can see how to voice concerns and whether it limited parents' ability to write directly to the board. She asked, "The the new, flowchart that you have for organization, will that be posted someplace so that parents can see that and so forth?"
Dr. Kravitz and the board replied that parents remain free to email the board but that following the chain of command — teacher, principal, curriculum associate, superintendent, then board — is considered best practice so issues are fully evaluated before reaching the board. The board president also said the presentation will be posted on the board tab of the website within a day or two to increase transparency.
The exchange clarified how families should raise concerns and how the district intends to make the organizational chart and related presentations accessible online.
