CONCEPT, GOALS, AND ROLES IN COMMUNITY RELATIONS
The school and local communities play critical roles in the success of our school district and our students.
The Board of Education shall maintain strong school-community relations and partnerships.
The Board of Education recognizes that the community, defined broadly as the state and specifically as the area
served by the school system, determines the quality of local education. It is imperative that members of the
community and the school personnel collaborate in planning, developing policy, implementing programs and
evaluating results.
School-community relations are not merely reporting and interpreting. Rather, they are part of a public enterprise
in which community members and school personnel play their respective roles in the best interests of the school
district.
The Board of Education establishes the following goals for community relations:
1. To increase public understanding of the school system.
2. To increase community confidence and interest in the school system.
3. To promote effective dissemination of information concerning school activities.
4. To solicit community feedback about the school system.
5. To encourage the sharing of resources among civic and community organizations for the benefit of the
school system.
6. To invite community participation in school activities.
