Does RUSD have communication issues?

"I'm relieved. It doesn't give us a great pause. We still have a lot of big issues," said School Board member Randy Bangs. "The vote demonstrates we need to do a better job linking with the community and addressing core issues."

Randy is right, RUSD does not do a very good job communicating with the community. I think broadcasting the bi-monthly meetings on Channel 20, RUSD’s cable access channel, might be a good start to start “linking” with the community.

I also think that including the information that the board members and media receive, commonly known as board packets, on the district’s website would also be beneficial.
If parents, voters and community members really understood the issues, wouldn’t we all be better off?

What are some other things that RUSD can do to better in linking with the community? Your thoughts or ideas? Post them here (it won’t cost you anything!!)
