In January 2009, the Boulder Valley Board of Education launched a Community Engagement Process with consultants Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) and Schoolhouse Communications. The consultants conducted 12 in-depth one-to-one telephone interviews and six 90-minute community focus groups, then presented a report of their findings to the board on May 26, 2009. The report contains recommendations to the board designed to improve both the opportunity for and the effectiveness of BVSD community engagement. The board had a work session devoted to the topic in June in which they reviewed, discussed and decided how to respond to the consultants’ findings and recommendations. They also outlined the next steps to be taken in their process.
