SECTION K: SCHOOL– COMMUNITY RELATIONS

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN DECISION MAKING

The Board believes that the school belongs to the community that it serves. It therefore intends that all reasonable efforts should be made to identify the desires of the community and to be responsive, through its actions, to those desires. There are two major ways in which the will of the community shall influence the development of Board policies:

  1. Trustees are elected by ward to represent all the constituents of the Division.
  2. All citizens of the Division are encouraged to express ideas, concerns, and opinions about the school through such means as:
bulletwritten suggestions or proposals;
bulletpresentations at hearings or at Board meetings (see also BD and BDA);
bulletresponses to surveys made regarding education;
bulletattendance at open meetings of the Board; and
bulletactive involvement with the school’s Advisory Council for School Leadership.
