Hundreds of families attended a recent school event in Elmwood Park CUSD 401 to tour the building and review students' schedules, a commenter said.
"The turnout was fantastic. We had hundreds of families showing up with the goal of learning about our students' classes, what they're gonna learn this year. Students and families got to tour the school. Parents got to walk the building and see their students' schedules. It was a fantastic night," the commenter said.
The commenter described the event as an opportunity for families to learn about students' classes and to tour the school; an exact date, the specific school building, and other organizing details were not specified in the transcript. The commenter characterized attendance as "hundreds" (approximate) but did not provide a precise count.
No formal actions, votes, or policy decisions regarding the event were recorded in the transcript. The remarks occurred as a report of community engagement rather than as part of an agenda item requesting board action.
