A group of community volunteers has been convened to lead the High School District 211 Community Engagement initiative.

The community will be engaged by gathering input from parents, students, business owners, residents and school staff members on various topics. These efforts will create a comprehensive summary of community feedback that will be presented to the Board of Education to assist in the development of a 5-year Strategic Plan for District 211.

District 15 parents are invited to offer their input and ideas during upcoming Community Engagement sessions.

Trained meeting facilitators will host Community Engagement sessions between February and May. Separate topics will be covered at each series of sessions, and two meeting dates/locations will be offered each month. Each session's meetings will be identical, and will run from 7-9 p.m. at the schools listed below.

Session 1: "State of District 211"

• Feb. 1 at Fremd High School, 1000 S. Quentin Road, Palatine

• Feb. 2 at Schaumburg High School, 1100 W. Schaumburg Road, Schaumburg
