We appreciate the feedback shared by community members regarding the scheduling of stakeholder committee workgroups. We understand that daytime meeting times can be challenging for those with work and family commitments, and we value the importance of making this process as accessible as possible.

In response to this feedback, we are pleased to offer additional evening meeting opportunities for each of the following stakeholder committees.

  • Educational Experiences

  • Organizational Capacity

  • Financial Sustainability

  • DRAFT Report Feedback

These sessions will be held from 6:00–7:00 p.m. on February 10 and 24, and March 18 and April 14. To sign up for these evening committees, we kindly ask that you use this form.

These evening sessions are intended for individuals who were unable to participate in the earlier daytime meetings. If you have already signed up for a stakeholder committee, there is no need to register again—we already have your information.

Participation on a stakeholder committee is a meaningful time commitment. We encourage interested volunteers to carefully review the meeting dates and expectations to ensure they are able to participate fully.

This is one of several opportunities for students, staff, families, and community members to share input, ask questions, and stay informed throughout the feasibility study process. Your voice matters, and we thank you for taking the time to engage.

Community input is an important part of this study, and we will continue to make adjustments when possible to support broad participation.

Sincerely,

Denise Cook, Superintendent of Schools, Deposit Central School District
