Dinner with the Board

The Board of Education offers opportunities for two-way communication between members of our school community and elected officials through its "Dinner with the Board" series.

This year, the Board's series will delve into a topic that is shaping the experiences of students every day: the impact of cell phones in the school environment. Prompted by insights from the book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, the Board is seeking community insights on cell phone access at school by hosting three opportunities for community conversation.

What to Expect: Participants will engage in small-group discussions guided by a facilitator using the World-Cafe style. You’ll have the chance to rotate tables, discuss the topic with different Board members, and connect with fellow community members. At the end of each evening, groups will "harvest" their discussions, sharing key takeaways with the entire group.

A professional graphic artist will be on hand to create a visual record of our community’s collective insights.

Plus, Enjoy Free Pizza: We know meaningful conversations happen best over a meal. That’s why we’re providing free pizza to all attendees. Come hungry for both food and dialogue!
