In a recent government meeting, board members expressed enthusiasm for the ongoing storytelling initiative, \"This Is Us,\" aimed at highlighting student experiences within the community. The program encourages students to share their stories, with a particular focus on those involved in student council and journalism, as well as members of various clubs. This initiative is designed to create a safe platform for students to document their experiences and build portfolios.
Board members noted a significant increase in engagement on social media platforms, particularly Facebook, where schools have been actively sharing updates. The district has established baseline metrics for follower engagement across its schools and plans to provide reports to each institution to assess the impact of their efforts. This data-driven approach is expected to motivate schools to enhance their communication strategies further.
The meeting also highlighted the successful rebranding of the district's online presence, with board members praising the efforts of the social media team, particularly Bryce Griffin, who has been instrumental in maintaining an active online presence. The board's commitment to fostering community involvement and showcasing student stories reflects a broader goal of enhancing educational engagement and transparency within the district.
