Who better to connect with the community over local issues of education than members of that community who are responsive to the voices in their own community?
 
Community engagement, also called public engagement or civic engagement, is the process by which school boards actively involve diverse citizens in dialogue, deliberation, and collaborative thinking around common interests for their public schools.
 
Community engagement addresses “owner” concerns. It is not designed to address “customer” concerns. Customer concerns, such as dissatisfaction with a particular teacher or text book, or questions about day-to-day operations, are best addressed by professional educators.
 
Effective community engagement works on two levels:
  1. it addresses legitimate public issues and;
  2. it grows the capacity of a democratic community to work collectively and collaboratively to meet the public good.
