COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN DECISION-MAKING

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN DECISION-MAKING

The Board recognizes that the public provides a vast resource of experience useful to the public schools. The Board encourages the involvement of citizens as advisors and resource people. The following are two major ways in which the will of the community shall influence the development of Board policies:

The Board members will remain mindful that they are elected to represent the people of the district.

All citizens of the district will be encouraged to express ideas, concerns, and judgments about the schools through such means as a) written suggestions or proposals, b) presentations at hearings, c) responses to surveys made through interviews, written instruments or other means and d) comments at meetings of the Board.
