McPherson & Jacobson consultants Dr. Debra White and Dr. Chris Lowder conducted meetings with district and community stakeholder groups on February 3, 4, 5. Engaging with twenty-one different groups associated with Lynchburg City Schools provided input from many individuals across the school system and local community. In addition, Dr. Ralph Ferrie conducted virtual meetings with Board members, City Councilmembers, the Vice-Mayor and the Mayor. All of the input regarding the selection of a new superintendent for Lynchburg City Schools is outlined in the executive summary, including consistent themes and ideas. They represent input that was consistent to all or most of the groups and could be considered to have broad support. The groups are categorized so as to report what each group shared with the consultants as it was emphasized during the meetings that comments made by individuals or small groups will not contain reference to specific individuals or positions who shared their comments during each session. The complete list of feedback by group is recorded within this document below:
