PUBLIC INFORMATION PROGRAM

            The Board of Education shall maintain a continuing public information program in order to promote widespread understanding of the school program, and to gain the support and participation of the community in the school system.

In addition to encouraging members of the community to attend and participate in public Board Meetings, the Superintendent of Schools shall develop a program aimed at disseminating Board policies and district educational programs to the public.

            The Superintendent should coordinate the activities of district administrators to ensure their direct involvement in the public information program.  Each school, through its faculty and staff, should participate not only in the dissemination of information to the public, but also in the planning of events and social programs aimed at getting the community involved in school district activities.

Requests for information concerning school district operations, procedures, or personnel by individual Board Members are to be channeled through the Board President and/or the Superintendent.  Parents and citizens wishing to obtain information should inquire first through a Building Principal or other school administrator, then through the Superintendent, and finally through the Board.
