BOARD-STAFF COMMUNICATIONS
The success of any school system requires effective communication between the Board of Education and school staff. Such communication is necessary for facilitating proposals for the continuing improvement of the educational program and for the proper disposition of personnel problems which may arise.
The main goal of both the Board and the staff is to provide the best possible education opportunities for the district’s students. To achieve this end, good Board-staff relations must be maintained in a climate of mutual trust and respect. At the same time, the Board in exercising its public trust to provide thorough and efficient public education, cannot dissipate or transfer its responsibilities.
In accordance with good personnel practice, staff participation in the development of educational and personnel policies will be encouraged and facilitated.
All effective means of facilitating channels of communication between the Board and staff will be maintained in order to promote close and cooperative action for the continuing improvement of the education program and the mutual benefit of the school system and the community.
