The Board of Education welcomes and seeks considered views on school district matters from residents and from local community groups and organizations.
Residents of the district and/or experts in the field who are especially qualified because of training, experience, or other personal characteristics shall be encouraged to take an active part in school affairs. Such persons shall be invited to act as advisers individually and in groups in areas such as the following:
- the clarifying of the general ideas and attitudes held by district residents in regard to the schools;
- the giving of active assistance to the professional staff in the actual operation of classes and services where the staff deems such aid valuable; and
- the solving of a specific problem or set of closely-related problems about which a decision must be made.
The Board and the staff shall give substantial weight to the advice they receive from individuals and community groups interested in the schools, especially those individuals and groups they have invited or created to advise them regarding selected problems, but shall use their own best judgment in arriving at decisions.
