• V. SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

    1. Collaboration Goals
      1. Community Outreach

        Beginning in July 2025, implement an external stakeholder community outreach program encompassing at least one new touchpoint each year to raise public school awareness, build trust, inform decisions, solicit feedback and increase district interaction through stakeholder communication channels and resources.

      2. Cross-Functional Inter-Departmental Partnership

        Throughout the next five years, strengthen cross-functional, interdepartmental collaboration and teamwork among stakeholders (with a particular focus on MTSS) as measured by participation in meetings, training and projects, development and implementation of standardized processes, number of joint projects launched and stakeholder feedback.

    2. Engagement Goals
      1. District Stakeholder Advocacy

        Increase district stakeholder advocacy over the next five years by increasing opportunities to readily share district news across internal communications channels and external media outlets, as measured by increased media presence.

      2. ADA Digital Compliance

        ADA compliance will be implemented across all digital communication systems as measured against the requirements and timelines established in WCAG 2.2. Over the five years, create a program of professional learning and establish protocols for reviewing ongoing compliance.

    3. Communication Goals
      1. Communication Plan

        By January 2026, a style guide will be established. The guide will be integrated into an overall communications plan to be completed by the end of the 2029- 30 school year. The plan will include board policy work, timelines and frequency standards, and establish clear communication systems and protocols for all stakeholder groups as measured by implementation of the plan.

      2. Communication Systems and Outcomes

        By the end of the 2025–26 school year, create a comprehensive list of communication systems and baseline metrics of the current use and ommunication outcomes. Implement protocols for reviewing communication outcomes and refining communication systems as compared to industry standards and technology advancements and measured by web analytics,newsletter and social media metrics, and stakeholder feedback over the subsequent four years.
