The district's response was quite alarming. Students are starting to hit teachers more and more. The district's response has been "that's part of the job." When we ask for help from our Behavior team they tell us "that's not our job."

What happens to your input

Three steps to make your voice count.

Every submission is reviewed by the facilitation team at Confluence PSG before it’s published. What gets gathered here informs the analysis, recommendations, and reports that working groups bring to policymakers. The ESTF’s Roadmap for Action is one example of what that looks like.

These processes work better when more voices are in the room. Yours is one of them.

No account required. No prior knowledge of the policy process needed. Just your experience.

About this platform

Built by facilitators, for the work.

Confluence Connects is a public engagement platform built and operated by Confluence Policy & Strategy Group. We built it because the tools available for this kind of work were either too expensive, too generic, or too disconnected from how real facilitation runs.
