During the School Board meeting on Monday, October 10, 2022, members of the Rockingham County Public Schools (RCPS) Community Dialogue Group launched a report summarizing the outcomes of what was discovered over the past five months of exploratory dialogue. In this report, they present a wider understanding of key challenges and ways to strengthen the safety and sense of belonging of all members of the RCPS community. At the same time, they have sought to understand the various factors that are giving rise to contentiousness and divisiveness in the community towards the school system and mapped what became known as the ‘trust gap.’
