The theme of community engagement will focus on continuing to enhance our positive direction in community engagement, by specifically involving those communities who may have barriers to accessing our typical methods of outreach and communication, as well as those not directly affiliated with the school district. This includes:

• Family and community engagement and support for academic and social-emotional development for all students
• Transparency and two-way communication with all stakeholders
• Culturally responsive outreach and customer service programs
• Embedding cultural competence, equity and accessibility
  
  

Objectives

The outcomes for community engagement include:

• Increase the opportunities for authentic partnerships to better meet the needs of students
• Improve transparency, consistency, and accessibility of system-wide two-way communications
• Develop an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust based on culturally responsive relationships with families
