Whitefish Bay School Board To Host Listening Sessions

WHITEFISH BAY, WI— The Whitefish Bay School Board will launch a series of listening sessions this week.

Starting November 11, the board will hear from the high school principal. And then each month, the board will hear from other leaders and educators from the remaining schools within the district.

The community is invited to be part of the listening sessions and hear from the school-based leadership teams as they share their improvement efforts and focus for the year.

The school reports for the 2020-2021 school year will focus on: safety and operations; instruction; supporting students; equity and excellence; and other highlights specific to the school.

The schedule is as follows:

Nov 11- High School
Dec. 9 - Middle School
Jan. 13 - Richards
Feb. 10 - Cumberland

View meeting locations and access Zoom links on BoardDocs. Meeting agendas will be active 2 days prior to the meeting.

The District has an annual tradition of inviting each school to present a "Host School Report" to the Board. In years past, the board meeting was held in the "host" school. Due to the pandemic, the Board will remain at the High School for all of the reports this year, Sandy Saltzstein, the Whitefish Bay School Board President, explained.

" The reports offer an opportunity for the Board to learn more about each school environment, as well as providing time for the administrators and staff members to share items of interest from their buildings. The reports are usually led by the building principal, and have in past years included other team members and sometimes students,"Saltzstein told Patch.
