The schedule of the superintendent’s community conversations and dialogues has been updated so all school communities can participate this school year.
The meetings that were originally scheduled for staff–Dialogue with the Superintendent–and for the community–Community Conversations Through Collaboration–will now take place during the spring by combining feeder patterns into shared events. This modified schedule allows all staff, faculty, parents and community members to hear from Superintendent Michael Hinojosa in the 2021-2022 school year.
Each meeting will feature a presentation by the superintendent and time for Q&A. The sessions for staff will take place at 5–6 p.m. and the sessions for parents and community members have been scheduled for 6:30–7:30 p.m.
The sessions will be held at district high schools to encourage attendance by parents whose children are enrolled in schools located nearby or in the invited feeder patterns. Parents with students enrolled in magnet or specialty schools near the designated high school are encouraged to attend the meetings in their community. However, for convenience, parents can attend a session at any high school.
Safety measures, including social distancing and masking, will be encouraged, and Spanish language interpretation will be available at each session.
