Board of Education Community
Involvement
in Decision-making
The Board believes the schools belong to the people whom they are created to serve. It therefore intends that all reasonable efforts should be exerted to identify the desires of the community and to be responsive through its actions, to those desires. These are the two major ways in which the will of the community shall influence the development of Board policies:
1.
Board members themselves will remain mindful that
they are elected to represent the people of the district.
2.
All citizens of the district will be encouraged to
express ideas, concerns, and judgments about the schools through such means as:
a.
Written suggestion(a) or proposal(s);
b.
Presentations at hearings
c.
Responses to surveys made through interviews, written
instruments, or other means
d.
Comments at meetings of the Board; and
e.
Service on citizens advisory committees
In all instances Board Policy will be followed.
