Question
Should parents be allowed to attend all parent-teacher conferences virtually if they choose, instead of coming to the school?
Background
Online conferences can make it easier for working parents and caregivers to participate. Some educators feel that in-person meetings build stronger relationships and reduce distractions. The district is considering how to balance access and connection.
Options
- Allow all conferences to be held online or in person at parent choice.
- Offer a mix of online and in-person conferences scheduled by the teacher.
- Reserve online conferences for special circumstances only.
- Continue requiring in-person conferences for all families.
