Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 Community Engagement

Authentic community engagement is at the heart of Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030. By listening to and learning from our students, families, staff, and community members, we can build a future for Robbinsdale Area Schools that reflects our shared values, aspirations, and commitment to excellence for all learners."Dr. Teri Staloch, Superintendent

What is Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 Community Engagement?

Community engagement is at the heart of the Reimagine Rdale process, with multiple opportunities for students, families, staff, and community members to share their perspectives. In February and March, there were eight district-wide community events, including two virtual sessions. Four of these events specifically engaged our Indigenous, Pan African, Somali, and Latino affinity groups. During this time, staff meetings were held at each district site, and separate student meetings took place at every school, from elementary through high school.

To reach even more voices, we hosted pop-up engagement events at various locations around the district, such as apartment buildings, faith organizations, and community meeting spaces, connecting with diverse groups across Robbinsdale. Additionally, we hosted tables with engagement opportunities at popular community events like Empty Bowls, the Bird Bash, and the Great Rdale Get-Together.

These efforts ensure that all voices are heard and incorporated into the Vision 2030 Team’s recommendations, fostering a collaborative and inclusive vision for the district’s future.
