Dear neighbors, 

You are invited to a MRUUSD Board Community Conversation on Monday March 22nd 6:30pm! This is an opportunity to join fellow community members and a few board members and ask things you've been wondering about, clear up misunderstandings, share concerns. The session, like those that took place in January and February, will take place via Google Meet and be about one hour long. All members of the Mill River Schools community are welcome- residents and business owners in Clarendon, Shrewsbury, Tinmouth, and Wallingford, district employees, students, and their families and caregivers. Hopefully eventually these sessions will take place in person, in the tradition of district coffee mornings that occurred before I joined the board.

There is no set theme or subject, but we will do our best to answer all questions brought and take notes that will be shared with other interested community members via the Mill River Schools website. If we don't know the answer we will look into it or connect you to someone who would be a better source of the information you seek. 

This is not a meeting for board members to undertake or propose any board actions and as such is not subject to Open Meeting Law, but we do intend for all information to be publicly shared and for all members of the public to feel welcome. If attendance becomes too high as to allow for a comfortable informal discussion, we will consider adding a second monthly session. 

If you would like to join us, please write to communityengagement@millriverschools.org for a link. 

Thank you!
Maria French
