    Dear Providence Community

    Who Should Attend & Why

    This is a time for all of us to come together: students, families, educators, and community members. We invite you to be part of this work as active partners in shaping the future of our schools. The People’s Plan is built on real voices and real experiences. It values youth leadership and includes student voices in every step. We recognize the lived experiences of our community and believe those insights are key to creating lasting change. No matter your role, your voice matters and belongs in this process.

    Interpretation & Translation services

    All sessions will have materials available in English and Spanish. If you require translation/interpretation in another language, please contact Carina Pinto De Chacon directly at least one week before the session. Be sure to include the session location, date, time, and language needed so the appropriate materials and support can be prepared.

    Childcare & Youth Activities

    All recreation centers, including the Elmwood Community Center, will offer child-friendly support for any adult attending with children. Kids will be engaged in age-appropriate, child-friendly activities, allowing adults to participate fully in the session.

    What Happens With Your Input:

    We know that sharing your time and thoughts with us takes effort—and we also understand how frustrating it can feel when it seems like your voice isn’t being heard.

    That’s why the School Board is committed to truly listening. During our Community Listening Sessions, board members—trained by the Council of Great City Schools—will take detailed notes to capture your exact words, not just our interpretation.

    After each session, we’ll post a full transcript on this webpage so you can see what was shared.

    In September, we’ll review all the feedback from our 15 Listening Sessions to find common themes. These insights will help shape two important parts of our next strategic plan: our Goals and Guardrails.

    Before anything is final, we’ll share a draft of the Goals and Guardrails with the community in November and ask for your feedback once again. Our goal is to finalize the plan by the end of the year.

    Thank you for being part of this important work. Your voice matters.


    Trust and Transparency

    The Providence School Board believes trust is built through honesty, follow-through, and shared leadership. The People’s Plan will not only exist as a document. It will be a commitment to listening, taking action, and keeping the community informed. Our community deserves to know what we are working on, how we are doing it, and who is involved. This process is rooted in openness every step of the way.

    This plan will help guide the School Board’s goals and priorities, but not every idea may be implemented right away. Still, every idea will be heard, considered, and valued. We are committed to doing this work with integrity and accountability to the people we serve.
