Describe the efforts you would make to communicate with your constituents and bring all stakeholders (state board, local boards, legislatures, educators, parents) together to enhance public education: (question from selection committee)

1    Communication is very important to me. When we do not communicate as public bodies we allow for inaccurate information to be spread from person to person through social media (gossip). I plan on attending at least one community council meeting for every school I represent.  This action will allow me to interact with those involved in education at a local level.  I want people in my district to know who I am so that they can come to me with their concerns and we can explore solutions together; this can be accomplished by having a poster/info card along with business cards at the front desk of each school in district 9.  I plan on writing a quarterly report of happenings on the Utah Board of Education and sending it to each school with the hope that they will include it in their e-mail newsletters to the families of their schools.
