Collecting feedback is a critical part of leading a responsive school—but it’s what happens after that matters most. When we ask for input, we set an expectation that voices will be heard and considered. Following through by clearly communicating what decisions were made—and how that feedback shaped them—strengthens trust, reinforces transparency, and models the kind of responsive leadership we want to see at every level of our system. Closing the feedback loop isn’t just good practice; it’s essential to building a culture where collaboration leads to meaningful action.
