Community Forum

If you missed Tuesday evening's Community Forum, you can catch the entire taping of it here (actual meeting starts at 4 minutes, 45 seconds).  Bob Dettmer and Ken Walker of the Brisbane School District, along with Clarke Conway and Cliff Lentz of the Brisbane City Council serve on the 2 x 2 Committee, with the goal to reach out to more members in the community and hear their concerns about the School District.  President of the School Board, Ken Walker, gave an overview of the District, their teaching methodology, and parental involvement in regards to fundraising and the role of BEST/PTO. 

Superintendent Toni Presta went over the District's budget outlook and spoke on the need to look "outside the box", for instance, the consolidation of neighboring school districts.  The rest of the meeting was dedicated to hearing from those in the audience, where youth and adults got involved.  Another 2 x 2 Committee meeting will take place after the results from the phone survey come back.  Details of that meeting will be made known on the City's website and publications when they become known.
