Hinsdale High School District 86 this week introduced D86 Community, a new board of education website that serves as an online hub to access board meeting schedules, agendas, documents, policies, communications, videos and more. This new website — which replaces the aging BoardDocs platform — was created to increase transparency for stakeholders and efficiency for administrators and board members.
The website officially launched Tuesday can be accessed by visiting http://www.Hinsdale86.org, selecting “Board of Education” from the dropdown menu and choosing “D86 Community.” Visitors will find that D86 Community can be easily accessed from a smartphone, tablet or computer.
Residents who wish to receive an email each time an agenda is posted for general board meetings, specific committee meetings or all meetings can sign up to do so using the page’s “subscription” feature. Subscribers will automatically receive email notifications with hyperlinks to the complete meeting agenda minutes after it is published online.
All stakeholders who sign up for subscriptions will temporarily receive two notifications for each meeting – one via D86 Community and one through ParentSquare. This is intentional, for now, to ensure all stakeholders are aware of meetings during the transition.
