Community collaboration.....

...what does it look like, how is it different than community engagement? Here is what the CDE has provided.

This from Archuleta #50 JT District: "When Linda Reed became superintendent, she wanted to reintroduce the district to the community. “Because so many residents weren’t originally from our community, or because they didn’t have children or grandchildren currently in our school system, there was a big disconnect,” explained Reed. “When a recent bond measure failed to pass, we realized that the community hadn’t recognized the needs of our schools because we hadn’t done a good job of communicating that. So we knew that part of our strategic framework needed to address communication and community collaboration.”"

Sounds familiar, yes? Can we re-connect as a community utilizing a new tool box?
