Participate in community conversations. There will be a series of multilingual community conversations throughout the city once the Board has agreed on potential options and before they vote on a new student assignment system. The community conversations will be designed to deepen understanding of the options being considered and the multiple factors taken into account, and provide opportunities for meaningful collaboration with diverse community and district stakeholders to ensure their aspirations and concerns are consistently heard and taken into consideration. The schedule of community conversations will be established once the Board has agreed on potential options for consideration (i.e., sometime after September 14, 2009).
