School District Virtual Forums

Connecting School Districts to Their Communities with Teletownhall and Text Alerts

How do school districts hold virtual town hall meetings with the whole community?

Telephone Town Hall Meeting bridges the gap between School District leadership and their district community using Teletownhalls. Virtual forums over the phone and web make meaningful outreach possible, and we can include Spanish-speaking residents in the live forum. In fact, we can break down language barriers to connect school leaders and staff using our Language Simulcast event add-on.

Our tightly managed virtual event productions allow knowledgeable speakers to educate community members through controlled Q&A. TTHM uses a full-service approach to Teletownhall technology to ensure that we customize each event and empower every aspect of the district communications strategy. Our event Moderators and Operators assist with customized scripting and setup, continue with full live production services, and finish with a substantial reporting package for each forum.

Telephone Town Hall Meeting (TTHM) has worked to connect schools and school districts with parents, students and community members since 2012. From updating parents and students heading into the new school year to discussing bond initiatives with the larger community, TTHM has facilitated highly engaging customized virtual forums for school districts of all sizes.

Read on to learn about what school districts are discussing this year.

Key Topics to Discuss in 2025:

• The Importance of Public Schools – as enrollment in public education options declines, it has become important for School Districts to reach out to their communities and stress the importance of public schools. Teletownhalls and Text Alerts help bridge the divide between the public and the schools that support their community.
• School Funding – use Teletownhalls and Text Alerts to discuss the annual budget and how it is appropriated throughout the district, or to encourage support for an upcoming bond initiative.
• Safety & Security – this subject has dominated our school district Teletownhalls as parents seek reassurance that schools and school districts are creating a safe place for students and faculty.
• Redistricting – the Census has resulted in many school districts reconfiguring to accommodate shifting population centers.  Explaining this process before it happens will help parents prepare.

TTHM uses a skilled moderator, question screeners and data collectors to facilitate live events and focus the discussion.  We also offer a suite of In-Event Add-Ons to help you reach a diverse and engaged audience through Telephone Town Halls.  Check out all of the powerful outreach options in the TTHM Toolbox and Contact Us for a demo of our technology.  No matter your outreach need, TTHM has a custom tech-empowered solution.
