The Poudre School District Board of Education is planning a series of public-engagement sessions over the next few months, during which community members can share their thoughts, ask questions and speak directly with school board members.
Two or more of the seven board members are expected to attend each session, and feedback from each will be shared with the entire Board of Education, board members said while announcing plans for these sessions at their last meeting, Dec. 10.
The schedule for the engagement sessions was announced by the school district in an email Wednesday afternoon. Instant Language Assistant translation software will be available to those who need it, district spokesperson John Cope said in a follow-up email with the Coloradoan.
“These sessions are designed to be open conversations with no predetermined agenda, offering community members and opportunity to engage directly with the Board,” Cope wrote.
