Traditional town halls often become forums for complaints where only confident public speakers participate. Our facilitated sessions use structured activities, small groups, and inclusive techniques to ensure all attendees, including quieter voices, contribute meaningfully. You get genuine dialogue, not just a microphone line.

We recommend including diverse stakeholders: parents (representing different demographics and school levels), teachers, classified staff, administrators, board members, students (middle/high school), local business leaders, faith community representatives, and civic organizations. The more diverse the group, the richer the outcomes.

Skilled facilitation is especially valuable in divided communities. We create safe spaces for difficult conversations, help groups focus on shared values (like student success), and use techniques that move past binary thinking. Many districts discover that beneath surface disagreements, common ground exists.

Investment varies based on district size, number of sessions, and scope. A typical engagement over 2.5 days ranges from $12,000-$21,000. Contact us for a customized proposal based on your district's specific needs and goals.

Yes. We design engagement strategies that reach beyond "the usual suspects." This includes evening sessions, childcare provision, translation services, partnering with trusted community organizations, and using engagement methods that feel accessible to people who aren't typically comfortable in school settings.
