Brainerd Public Schools is inviting parents, students, staff, and area residents to weigh in on "Brainerd 2.0," a proposed plan under Project True North designed to right-size the district for current enrollment while positioning local schools for future success.

As district leaders evaluate facility and structural needs, community input is serving as a vital component of the planning process. District officials emphasize that no final decisions have been made. Feedback collected during this engagement window will be compiled and presented directly to the School Board ahead of its official decision on December 14.

Members of the Brainerd Public Schools community are encouraged to participate through two brief online steps:

1. Learn About the Proposal: Watch a short informational video outlining the Brainerd 2.0 plan at screenpal.com/watch/cO6lrxnynuB.

2. Share Feedback: Participate in the district’s online forum hosted on ThoughtExchange at tejoin.com/participate/897509464..

The ThoughtExchange process takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes and can be completed on any smartphone, tablet, or computer. All submissions are completely confidential, allowing participants to share candid thoughts and rate the ideas of fellow community members anonymously.
