At Pinellas County Schools, we are committed to meaningful engagement with students, families, staff, partners, and community members. Your voice is essential to driving continuous improvement throughout the district.

PCS Community Listen and Learn Sessions will consist of several annual meetings in areas across the county. Sessions are designed to create a welcoming space for open dialogue and shared insights.

By hosting the sessions countywide, we ensure that the School Board, the Superintendent, and district leadership are present and accessible—ready to listen, learn, and respond.

This initiative reflects our ongoing dedication to being transparent, approachable, and responsive to the voices that shape our schools. Together, we will continue to build stronger partnerships and more vibrant school communities.

Format: Pinellas County Schools Community Meetings will be in-person events. A virtual option for stakeholders on the Pinellas County Schools YouTube channel will be available later in the week.

View past Listen and Learn sessions. Each meeting will last approximately 60-90 minutes and include:

Opening (5 minutes): Welcome by Board Member(s) and Superintendent 

Presentation (15 minutes): Short presentation consisting of highlights and happenings of the district and the area of the meeting led by the Superintendent.

Question/Answer (30 minutes): Panel of Board Members (anticipate 1-3 Board Members per session), Superintendent and district staff (by topic) answer questions from the audience.

Feedback Opportunities (40 minutes): Stakeholders are welcome to stay the entire time; however, they can also leave once they have provided input. Stakeholders provide district leadership and provide direct feedback as outlined below:

• Direct conversations with the Superintendent, Board Member(s) and district leadership present
• Targeted questions about an issue the district seeks feedback that stakeholders can provide written feedback (in-person or via survey link)
• General feedback questions where stakeholders can provide feedback regarding the district
