To support our committee members, we’re developing tools for recruitment and training. Through flyers, surveys, and other resources, we’re empowering our team to engage effectively with the community and implement impactful initiatives.
One of our key initiatives involves hosting six listening sessions, with two sessions per month, rotating between Bethel, Springfield, and the 4J school districts. We’re also providing a virtual option via Zoom to ensure accessibility for all. These sessions, scheduled from April to June, will serve as invaluable opportunities to collect feedback, analyze conversations, identify common themes, and collaboratively develop a plan for the upcoming 2025-26 school year. We’re committed to transparency and will share the insights gained from these sessions with the wider community.
