Comprehensive Planning Committee Board Engagement Update: June 16, 2026

The PSD On Demand Comprehensive Planning Committee held a board engagement update meeting on June 16, 2026, focusing on the structure and function of newly formed action teams tasked with supporting the committee's work. These nine action teams, composed of district staff, community members, and parents, are responsible for specific areas such as climate and staff, family support, continuity of programming, HR processes, records and finance, facility needs, safety and transportation, and communication. The teams are expected to meet multiple times over the summer to develop recommendations that will feed into a comprehensive report to the board by mid-September. The board discussed the importance of confidentiality agreements for team members, the timing and format of board engagement including 2-by-2 meetings and potential retreats, and the need for meaningful community engagement sessions that provide substantive feedback to inform the teams' work. A data dashboard was introduced to help board members and the community access relevant school and financial data. The board emphasized the need for coordinated communication and feedback mechanisms to ensure alignment and effective decision-making throughout the process.
