Parents and community members will have the opportunity to meet with new Beaufort County School District Superintendent Frank Rodriguez more than a half dozen times over the course of the fall.
The first of eight opportunities already took place Wednesday, Aug. 27 at Bluffton High School.
Rodriguez hopes to talk with parents, community members, teachers and administrators about what’s going well and what needs special attention in Beaufort schools.
“I’m calling it ‘Listening and Learning,’ ” Rodriguez said. “These are opportunities for me to directly engage with parents and community members – to listen to them and learn what’s on their minds.”
Rodriguez said the information he gathers from the eight events will be incorporated into the district’s strategic planning process.
The full schedule of meetings will be:
• Aug. 27 – Bluffton High, 6 p.m.
• Aug. 29 – Hilton Head Island High, 6 p.m.
• Sept. 5 – Battery Creek High, 6 p.m.
