Stakeholders Critical to FSPS Success
Fort Smith Public Schools is committed to involving a variety of stakeholders in the development of district programming. Listen to a third-party account of an example at 00:03:30 in a 2018 edition of KUAF’s Ozarks at Large.
A list of current, active committees follow. These citizens, students, and educators serve on different stakeholder teams that the administration has invited to discuss and offer feedback on FSPS work toward solutions and answers for a variety of challenges.
District representatives present work accomplished on particular projects, and will encourage the group to ask questions and make suggestions for improving that work. FSPS does not ask individuals to bring problems to the group, but asks that participantsS advise the district on best ways to approach solutions.
Citizens, students and educators are often invited to participate based on informal recommendations from principals and others who know of a person’s interest in particular subjects. Stakeholders choose to participate and may offer suggestions for others who may consider serving.
SUPERINTENDENT’S STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council has been active since the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year. The students who represent all secondary schools are invited to assist Dr. Brubaker and the Executive Team in developing a better understanding of the needs of students as well as to offer an opportunity for these young people to further develop their leadership skills. A percentage of these students apply based on their interest in serving on this team. Others serve as a responsibility of their elected position at their schools.
