Members of the community will have an opportunity to voice their opinion and provide input toward decisions made within the Warren County R-III School District over the next two weeks.The Comprehensive School Improvement Plan committee will be hosting two public meetings to solicit feedback on a series of questions compiled during its planning meeting Oct. 8.“We want to develop goals based upon the main themes we are hearing,” said Superintendent Dr. Gregg Klinginsmith. “This is really to help us get a listening of what’s out there and what people are thinking.”The first event, regarding citizenship and student achievement, will be held at Daniel Boone Elementary Thursday, Nov. 1.The second will take place the following Monday, Nov. 5, at Warrenton High School. It will focus on retaining qualified staff, parent and community engagement and facilities and financial resources to support student success.The feedback received during these community forums will be used as a directive in developing the district’s goals and understanding how to best move forward to optimize the educational experience for R-III students.“CSIP will review that data to develop our school development plan, because we want the plan to be reflective of what the community wants,” said Klinginsmith. “We want the community to feel involved.”Part of the school board’s intentions over the past year have been related to transparency in the community and actively engaging the constituents, as was done in the superintendent search process during 2017. Online or paper surveys are helpful, but Klinginsmith encourages residents to attend these meetings so the committee can ask follow-up questions and gain a better understanding of the feedback given.The CSIP committee will meet again Dec. 4 to review the responses from the community and move forward with the development of goals.Warren County R-III School District logo
