As members of the SFC Partnership Committee, your role in improving communications is pivotal. How often would you propose to meet to discuss this important task? The SFC committee members, including the principal and other community leaders, will meet at least once a month. This regular interaction is crucial as it allows us to build rapport, work collaboratively with other stakeholders, and understand their interests and investments in the community. Input is highly valued and integral to this process, and by having monthly meetings,
we can ensure we keep momentum. After each meeting, the notes and summary will be shared via several platforms such as email, GroupMe, remind, or the preferred platform. What norms or processes would you use at your committee meetings to maintain focus on improving communications and rebuilding trust? We will establish norms and rules guiding future discussions at our inaugural meeting. A vital aspect of these norms will be to foster respectful dialogues, encourage constructive feedback, and provide an open floor where everyone's ideas and opinions are welcomed. We will also adopt a collaborative approach when making decisions and ensure that each meeting has a clear agenda to maximize productivity. Another essential factor to consider is training and providing feedback on productive dialogue; some stakeholders might need to be more familiar with formal meetings, agendas, and working collaboratively. What topics would be appropriate for this committee…. (Remember this is an unelected committee providing input to your administration. It is not a management committee, and roles must be defined.) The first topic is understanding how people feel regarding communication between the school, parents, and other stakeholders. That can be embedded in a survey with an option for them to write ideas that might strengthen our relations. It is essential to understand how the committee feels about the communication going on so far; we must grow with conversations and know how people feel. We have a mutual understanding that trust has been lost; as a collaborative leader, I would want to understand from the committee members why they assume it was lost; with such information, one can get a broad picture of how the community feels about the school and district in certain areas. How would you avoid chasing rumors…. Or would you allow the discussion of rumors? As a leader, always setting the tone and expectations is essential. Furthermore, having a specific agenda to discuss topics brought to the table will be a great start. As an experienced educator, I have witnessed and learned that to stay on track, productive, and invested, one needs to provide a guide, in this case, the agenda, and try to follow through as much as possible. Also, if rumors are spreading, as leaders, we deem it necessary to acknowledge them and address them by including a 10-minute time that will be given after the meeting. The principal needs to have an ear on the streets, and when a problem or rumor arises, the leader should address it and set the tone. As a leader trying to build stronger relationships, I cannot ignore rumors, but I also have to set boundaries and understand that trust has not been built. Rumors and gossip are good examples and feedback of how productive we have or have not been. It is also essential for committee members to understand that even though it might feel like a social interaction, our meetings are strictly business, and having a genuine investment in the topics is crucial. How would you use the committee to help gather information and data for your administrative team?
