This is our next installment of the Strategic Plan at a Glance. A full copy of the plan is available on the district website.


Priority 3


Student and Family Engagement


Aim 1

Students must be able to access school programs and opportunities. Brunswick schools will identify and lower or remove barriers to student access to maximize student participation and engagement in school programs.


Aim 2

Effective schools and district communication builds trusting relationships and enables families, students, staff, and community members to serve as collaborative partners. In order to communicate effectively with the community, the means used must be regular, consistent, accessible, and reliable.
