The Board of Education is devoted to the development and maintenance of a comprehensive year-round community relations program to assure a full appreciation of the educational program, and to provide for the broadest participation of all--Board, staff, students, and community--in seeking solutions to problems and in promoting the continuing improvement of the educational resources available to the school community.
To this end, the Board establishes the following goals for community involvement:
to implement an active partnership between the school and the community, in which professional educators and laymen work together towards improvement of the total educational program;
to develop arrangements among civic and community organizations for sharing of resources, especially in the creation of programs designed to benefit students;
to promote staff interest in community needs and encourage volunteer participation by students and staff to make the community a better place to live;
to foster public understanding of the need for constructive change, and solicit public advice on how the district can best achieve its educational goals;
to involve citizens, business, and community agencies in the work of the school; and
to promote a genuine spirit of cooperation between the school and the community, and to establish channels for sharing the leadership in improving community life.
