In December, we launched the first of several efforts aimed at collecting community input on topics identified during Dr. Duran’s Listening Tour as being important to our community. To date, we have held community sessions on Safe Students/Safe Schools, Athletics & Activities, and Equity.

The Safe Students/Safe Schools Advisory Group held four sessions this past January and they’re are adding one more. The Bellevue Special Needs PTA is hosting a community meeting on Tuesday, April 24 at Phantom Lake Elementary School. Visit the event page for more information and to RSVP. We also invite all families to provide feedback through the Safe Students/Safe Schools survey. A summary of the Safe Students/Safe Schools meetings is now available to review.

The Equity Advisory Group held five community sessions between February and March. Notes from each meeting are now available to review. If you were unable to attend a meeting, please provide your feedback through the Equity survey.

The Athletics & Activities Advisory Group held five community sessions between February and March. If you were unable to attend a meeting, we please ask that you provide your feedback through the Athletics & Activities survey.

We are extremely grateful to the hundreds of participants who have taken time to attend a session or provide their feedback through our surveys. We are finalizing our remaining three groups (Student Wellness, Growth & Planning, and Finance) and look forward to continuing our community conversations. Visit our Community Advisory Group page for more information.

The Bellevue School District acknowledges that we learn, work, live and gather on the Indigenous Land of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Duwamish and Snoqualmie Tribes. We thank these caretakers of this land, who have lived and continue to live here, since time immemorial.
