Description:
The plan for Allen ISD was to begin meeting with the committee in late March of 2020, the same time that COVID-19 became a pandemic in the US. Instead of waiting to resume the committee in the fall, the board of trustees and district leadership surveyed the established committee to gain perspective on the interest in virtual meetings so the initiative could move forward. Overwhelmingly the committee responded to move forward and that virtual meetings would be a good alternative to face-to-face which weren’t possible considering the circumstances. The virtual meetings began in May and ended in late June and included a self-guided recorded facility tour which allowed committee members to go at their own pace and read items within the tour that would have been presented face-to-face.
