Building Community & Culture at PRA
PRA is excited to share an update regarding our work to build community and culture, one of the three pillars of the 2030 PRA Board Strategic Plan.
Click on this link to read a letter from April Wilkin, PRA Executive Director, to the PRA community detailing our current culture project. The culture and climate assessment, consisting of both a quantitative and qualitative analysis, will occur from July through February.
PRA staff is currently participating in a listening tour engagement and survey option to provide their input. Students and parents will also have the opportunity to offer insight into the culture at PRA through a survey tool, which will be distributed at the end of October and the beginning of November.
