Community Engagement Group

The goals of the Community Engagement Group (CEG) for the Empowering Effective Teachers (EET) initiative are:

1. Receive regular updates and remain informed about the progress of the EET initiative.
2. Serve as a sounding board to provide feedback to the school district from a business & community perspective.
3. Serve as ambassadors in the community - be a source of accurate information about the EET initiative.

On this webpage you will find links to important information, as well as summaries from CEG meetings.  Please contact us with any questions or comments.
