The Connected Community: A Strategic Imperative
2
In an era of transformative change for K-12 education –
when technology has extended learning far beyond
classroom walls and long past the three o’clock bell – the
center of the educational universe has shifted
from inside the school to the extended community.
A district’s success now pivots upon its ability to connect the
district with each and all of its constituents – all the time –
including principals, teachers, students, families, media,
taxpayers, and community residents.
