Join Our Transportation Focus Groups July 10 + 11

We invite you to take part in a focus group to better understand the experience of Charlottesville City Schools families in managing ongoing school transportation challenges. We will be conducting small, guided conversations on July 10th from 9:30-11am, July 10th from 1-2:30pm and July 11th from 1:30-3:00pm. Last fall, Charlottesville United for Public Education conducted a webinar to better understand the transportation changes and challenges in Charlottesville City Schools. Now we want to check in and see how things are going! The focus group will be short, lasting no longer than 90 minutes, and conducted by Charlottesville United staff and board members.

We want the focus group to be mutually beneficial, providing you with an opportunity to share and find out more about the challenges and joys that other community members have experienced when working through the process of taking their community idea from a thought to an action. We are looking to learn more about:

• Charlottesville City Schools made transportation changes last fall, what is working well for you and your family?

• Charlottesville City Schools made transportation changes last fall, what is not working well for you and your family?

• What questions do you have for Charlottesville City Schools transportation decision-makers?

We want you to know that your voice matters! When you share your views and experiences they will be used to help inform our collective about what is and is not working, as we work to support you.

If you would like to take part in one of the focus groups being held on July 10th from 9:30-11am, July 10th from 1-2:30pm, or July 11th from 1:30-3:00pm, please respond by completing this form.
