The communication efforts have been well received by the public, Vermokowitz said. We've seen many people coming to us as individuals and saying, 'Thank you so much for the articles,' and saying that they keep the newsletter on their coffee tables to keep track of what's going on with the schools. An annual community engagement night draws the public to discuss hot topics or high-priority concerns for the district. Participants then split up into small discussion groups to talk about specific topics. Community input from the program plays a role in developing district goals.
Board members do most of the work.
