Parent and community speakers used the public input period to request clearer communications and program expansion. Rebecca Farrell asked for a discussion about how the district communicates with families, saying the district "primarily have happen on Facebook, which I'll be honest, hate it," and requested calendars and critical notices be sent via email so families do not miss information.
Eric Schirmer, a parent, asked the board to move quickly to approve initiating an expanded options program with the college and offered to supply Marshfields documentation and sample agreements; Jessica Markenbrink urged the board to outline plans to reengage students who were "frozen out" last year and to rebuild trust with families who are reluctant to return.
