Vision 2020 Forum Invitation

The Board of Education and Superintendent Cindy Marten invite all stakeholders
to a series of neighborhood meetings to Dream Big together for the future of our
schools. We are committed to having clear, long-term priorities based on our
Vision 2020. We believe that when our priorities are inspired and informed by
our parents, students, and teachers, we will have important information for
long-range planning with students at the center. These forums will yield a clear
and collective sense of our district-wide long-term priorities.

The "Vision 2020 Forums: What Kinds of Schools Do We Want" series offer parents,
staff, students, and community members an opportunity to give input to the
superintendent and the board members on priorities for our students and schools.
Participation by cluster and parent leaders is vital to the success of these
