Community Dialogue Meetings
Each meeting will feature an identical presentation. Unlike a town hall, these meetings bring parents and other interested citizens together in small group discussions to explore and answer questions. The feedback from these discussions will provide critical information to the staff and School Board. Staff from Transportation, Instructional Services, and Special Services will be available to answer groups’ questions.
Community dialogue meetings will be held at 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on
- Tuesday, February 28, 2012
- Wednesday, February 29, 2012
at Kilmer Middle School, 8100 Wolftrap Road, Vienna, VA 22182.
It is not necessary to attend both meetings since the presentation and handouts will be the same.
An additional meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 7, 2012, specifically for English Speakers of Other Languages at Freedom Hill Elementary. Interpreters, bus transportation, and child care will be provided.
Please sign up if you plan to attend one of the above meetings to help staff plan for materials and seating, and indicate if you would like to request an interpreter for Arabic, Japanese, or Spanish.
