Active Listening Sessions Version 1.0
We are listening.
Join us for a conversation on SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Changes. We want your input on the preliminary scenario options to improve academics, equity and facilities across our school district. Each one is a starting point for conversations that will lead us toward finalizing scenario recommendations later this fall. The preliminary scenario options are a draft and not final.
Find your school on the list below for the meetings focused on the scenario options affecting your campus. Or, attend a districtwide meeting for a community conversation on all the scenario options.
You can also provide feedback on the scenario options by participating in ThoughtExchanges at .
