District 211 to Host Two Community Engagement Meetings This Week

Submitted by Township High School District 211

Residents of Township High School District 211 are invited to share their ideas about the future of District 211 schools.

The first of these meetings will be held on Monday, February 1, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Fremd High School and on Tuesday, February 2, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Schaumburg High School. Both meetings will include the same information and offer the same opportunities for engagement.

The primary goal of a Community Engagement initiative is to gather comprehensive information from local constituents (parents, students, business owners, residents, and staff members) to inform the Board of Education and school district leadership about the many voices of people in all roles within the communities the District serves. This information and input will be used by the Board of Education and District administration to prepare a Strategic Plan document declaring and clarifying the District’s direction, priorities, and outcomes for the coming five years.

A part of the process is to conduct community-wide engagement sessions. Open to anyone in the community, these large public meetings will be held numerous times during the community engagement initiative and would enable input surrounding the assets, liabilities, and challenges facing District 211.

These meetings will provide an opportunity for a two-way exchange of information and feature work a presentation and work sessions focused on results and collective suggestions as a group. Community-wide engagement sessions will be conducted in an efficient manner and facilitated by trained committee members. Information obtained at each session will be documented, and used to create an executive summary to be presented to the Board of Education at the end of the Community Engagement sessions.
