Dear Central Support Team Members,
Thank you to all of you who joined us for one or both of today’s town halls, when team members were able to hear from several of our Cabinet members regarding the process for the Central Office reorganization. We hope you found our time together valuable. In case you missed it, view the complete presentation from the meeting.
During these meetings, we received over 200 comments and questions. Some of the questions we were able to answer live during the town hall. For the rest, we are committed to answering these through our FAQ page and in future communications.
In this uncertain time of change and transition, we want to acknowledge the strain and stress that has been felt by all of our team members. We appreciate the efforts you have made to keep our district moving forward to serve our scholars. We heard loud and clear today that culture and equity are in the forefront of your minds -- and we want to reassure you that they are front and center for us as well. As we continue through the reorganization process, we look forward to creating an even stronger Team DPS that will collaboratively and intentionally do what’s best for our kids.
We look forward to connecting again in the future and will continue to update you with information through our Friday emails. Please keep submitting your top-of-mind questions through this form so we can ensure they make it on to our FAQ.
In Collaboration,
Edwin Hudson, Chief of Talent
Deborah Staten, Deputy Chief of Staff
Jim Carpenter, Deputy Superintendent of Operations
Dr. Tony Smith, Deputy Superintendent of Schools
