Big Red Board Chats

  • The Board of Education seeks to have two-way communication with stakeholders via community engagement initiatives such as quarterly Big Red Chats with the Board.

    If you would like to get to know your Board members, have a question, have a concern, have a recommendation, have a compliment, or just want to talk with a board member, please attend one of these chats.

    Big Red Chats with the Board are opportunities for stakeholders to have two-way communication with up to three board members at one time in order to comply with the Michigan Open Meetings Act.  There is a general topic for the chat, but attendees are welcome to ask any school-related questions they may have.  It is important to note that individual board members cannot speak for or make commitments on behalf of the entire board.

    Future Chats - All held from 6:30 to 8:00 PM in the Symons Elementary Auditorium - Park in the lot behind the school and enter the southernmost doors near the loading dock
