Babylon UFSD to Launch Citizens Advisory Committee
Group to Provide BOE Input on Social Emotional Learning and Student Safety
In an effort to maintain an open dialogue with the Babylon school community, the Babylon Union Free School District Board of Education is launching a citizens advisory committee. The focus of the group will be to gather input regarding student social emotional learning as well as student safety, and to relay it to the board.
“From day one this board has been committed to regaining the trust of the greater Babylon community and to continuing healthy and open conversations with the stakeholders in the district that make it such a special place for learning,” said Babylon BOE President Carol Dell’Erba. “As we finally make a full return to normalcy following years of pandemic, we hope to gather input on reducing student anxiety and to allay any and all student safety concerns. We vow to take all committee input seriously, and we hope to turn it into actionable policy that will enrich the lives of all in our schools.”
Commenting on the formation of a citizens advisory committee in the District, Interim Superintendent of Schools Brian Conboy noted, "I was presented with the idea of a citizens advisory committee not long after coming on as interim superintendent for the District. I have worked with these types of committees in the past and believe they can be a useful avenue for gathering additional information from residents. I look forward to the ideas and recommendations this committee can provide in helping us optimize our efforts in the area of our students social-emotional health and well-being”
