Why Participate?
This is a simple and meaningful way to deepen community engagement, build consensus, and collaboratively envision the future of the school district. Hosting a conversation at a gathering, meeting, or event can amplify voices and ensure a wide range of perspectives are included.
If you’re interested, attending the online training sessions will provide helpful tools and guidance to lead an impactful discussion. However, the training is not required, and resources are available, even if you can’t attend!
