November 8, 2005 > Superintendent invites parents to discuss communications

by Gary Leatherman

Following up on his stated commitment to improve communication in the Fremont Unified School District, Superintendent Douglas Gephart has scheduled a meeting at the FUSD district office on Nov. 16 to confer with parents on a broad range of communications issues. In an informal survey conducted during the 2004-05 school year by the superintendent's Parent Representative Advisory Assembly (PRAA), many parents identified communications as an issue they would like the district to address.

The meeting will be in the Board Room of the FUSD Education Center at 4210 Technology Drive from 7-9 p.m. Although the meeting originally had been scheduled as a PRAA meeting, all parents with an interest in the subject are encouraged to attend.

By inviting all parents to attend and all parent organizations to be represented at the Nov. 16 meeting, the superintendent said he hopes both to generate some substantive new ideas about communications and to revitalize interest in his advisory committee.

Anyone interested in further information about the meeting or other opportunities for parents to participate in district decision making may call the FUSD Communications Department at (510) 659-2594 or visit www.fremont.k12.ca.us.
