1100- 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.

The Superintendent of Schools shall develop a program aimed at disseminating Board policies and district educational programs to the public. The Board shall use various media resources, including newspapers, radio, television and school publications as well as encouraging members of the community to attend public Board meetings. Input from the community is encouraged.

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

Parents and citizens wishing to obtain information should inquire first through a Principal or school official, then through the Superintendent, and finally through the Board.
