During the FPS Board of Education Regular Meeting on December 17, 2024, a significant decision was made to enhance community engagement by approving a new protocol that will allow interviews to be televised. This move aims to ensure transparency and provide the public with an opportunity to share their opinions openly during the interview process.

The board emphasized the importance of this initiative, highlighting that it will foster a more inclusive environment where community members can actively participate in discussions that affect their schools. The televised interviews will not only keep the community informed but also encourage greater involvement in educational matters.

In addition to this key decision, the board clarified that they typically do not respond to inquiries during meetings, but felt it was crucial to address this particular change to ensure everyone understands the new protocol and its implications.

This step forward reflects the board's commitment to transparency and community involvement, setting a precedent for future interactions between the board and the public. As the implementation of this protocol begins, stakeholders can look forward to a more engaged and informed community dialogue surrounding educational issues.
