HBOE - Workshop (SGC Showcase) In-Person - 6/2/2026-ORG

This was a workshop meeting held on June 2, 2026, involving Hartford Public Schools' Office of Strategic Partnerships and Fund Development, focusing on the School Governance Councils (SGCs) and community engagement. The meeting highlighted efforts to improve school reputation, increase parent and community involvement, and strengthen governance councils across the district. Key topics included the composition and roles of SGCs, recruitment and retention of members, and the importance of partnership between schools and the district. The meeting also covered the Welcome Center's role in supporting families with enrollment, uniforms, and other resources, noting increased requests and ongoing challenges such as homelessness. While the meeting emphasized community engagement and educational support, no specific procurement, contracting, or budget award decisions were discussed, though it was noted that schools had submitted SGC budget forms and received additional funding from the state and city for the next academic year.
