Greetings Mill River Community!
The next Community Conversation with MRUUSD school board members is Monday, November 15th at 6:30pm. The board members scheduled to be at the Conversation are Andrea Hawkins (Clarendon, serving on the Policy Committee), Adrienne Raymond (Shrewsbury, serving on the Finance, Personnel, Policy, Negotiations, and Community Engagement committees), and Asha Carroll (Tinmouth, serving on the Policy, Finance, and Community Engagement committees). More info about school board members, including email contacts, can be found here: http://millriverschools.org/mruusd-board-documents/board-members/.
For those who have not yet taken part, this is an online session with 2-3 Mill River district school board members and usually 4-10 community members where people can ask questions, share suggestions, and talk in a less formal session than a full school board or committee meeting. The school board members present will share from their own experience and public information but will not take any action or represent any board stance that has not been previously approved and shared by the full board.
Our hope for these sessions is for board members to learn more about the communities they represent in order to take more informed action in board meetings, for community members to better get to know their representatives, and to clear up misunderstandings.
Any question about board work and the district is fair game and, as long as our reply wouldn't violate confidentiality, we will do our best to answer them or direct you to a more reliable source of information than ourselves. Notes taken will be added to a FAQ document that should be on the website around the beginning of the coming school year. We will inform you as soon as that document is up and available. Conversations will not be recorded, except by a board note-taker.
These sessions will take place on the third Monday of each month at 6:30pm. Please email us at communityengagement@millriverschools.org to request the link to the Google Meet. We can't wait to be able to have these sessions in person, but for the time being we will continue to hold them online, for your convenience and safety.
Thank you and hope to see you there!
Adrienne
