Subcommittee for Community Engagement July 6, 2026

The Greenfield Community Television (GCTV) Subcommittee for Community Engagement held a meeting on July 6, 2026, primarily discussing communication strategies and social media management for Greenfield Public Schools. A significant portion of the meeting focused on evaluating the $3,000 monthly expenditure on social media services provided by TMS, with concerns raised about the effectiveness and reach of the current Facebook page, which was noted to have limited engagement and content mostly recycled from individual PTOs. The committee discussed the potential benefits of adopting Parent Square, a communication platform that offers targeted messaging and multilingual support, which is being piloted and expected to roll out in the fall. Additionally, the meeting addressed the recent changes in fingerprinting requirements for volunteers and substitutes, highlighting improved local access to fingerprinting services. The subcommittee also planned to consider conducting a parent survey to improve community engagement and communication in future meetings. No formal votes on procurement were recorded, but there was a motion to end the discussion and return to formal order, which passed unanimously.
