Blue Valley's 2024 Priority Legislative Position 3
Legislative priorities, approved by the Blue Valley Board of Education, are crucial for advocating for our students, educators and community. The priorities address key issues needing attention from legislators. Watch the video below to learn more about why the district makes applying at-risk funding to student defined measures a top legislative priority.
Community Connection Point with BOE set for Feb. 29
Blue Valley community members have an opportunity to engage with the Board of Education from 6-7 p.m. on Feb. 29 in the Oxford Middle library.
Community Connection Point gives Blue Valley community members an opportunity to talk with Board of Education members in a less formal setting. Hosted at various schools around the district, the round-table conversation format allows for great conversations about topics of interest in the community.
A sign-up is available for patrons who have questions for board members, but no sign-up is required to attend. More information about Community Connection Point with the BOE is available on the district’s website.
