District to hold Community and Staff Forums

Forums will generate ideas and opinions on how to make an already outstanding school district even better.

The San Ramon Valley Unified School District is inviting community members to take part in one of four forums designed to assist the district in shaping several proposals being introduced by the Superintendent.
 
“We want our community to help shape our future – plain and simple,” said Superintendent Steven Enoch. “We have a wealth of talent and experience here, and we would be foolish not to tap into that. The proposals that we are introducing at the forums will act as a guide for discussion.”
 
The upcoming community forums provide an opportunity to think creatively about ways to make this outstanding school district even better, and to revisit the values, mission and priorities of our education community. The district will seek input at these forums around issues such as:
  • How to best prepare students for success in a changing competitive, global environment, and what this means for teaching and learning.
  • Technology and expansion of world language education.
  • A possible restructuring of the senior year experience, allowing these students more time off campus in order to have a job, engage in community service or political advocacy, and/or take college classes.
  • How to best meet all of our facilities needs in terms of growth, modernization of older facilities and energy conservation.
The forums are scheduled at each high school. Parents, staff, students and other community members may attend any forum that works best with their schedule. The community forums will be at 6:30 p.m. (staff forums at 4:00 p.m.).
 
Superintendent Enoch has drafted a document of ideas and proposals intended to stimulate discussions, other ideas, and ultimately some general consensus around those areas of greatest interest which will be presented to the Board of Education for their deliberation. Click here for the document.
 
The dates and locations of the forums are:
  • Wednesday, November 4, San Ramon Valley High School
  • Monday, November 9, Dougherty Valley High School
  • Thursday, November 12, Monte Vista High School
  • Monday November 16, California High School
For more information, contact the Superintendent's office at 925-552-2933 or ghaddad@srvusd.net.   We hope to see you there!
