BOARD AND STAFF COMMUNICATIONS
Every reasonable means of communication is encouraged throughout the education
community. Nevertheless, an organization must maintain some order and structure to
promote efficient and effective communications.
Guidelines
Staff Communications to the Board
1. All official communications or reports to the Board from principals, supervisors,
teachers, or other staff members shall be submitted through the Superintendent.
2. This shall not deny any staff member's right to appeal to the Board from
administrative decisions, provided that the Superintendent shall have been notified
of the forthcoming appeal and that it is processed according to applicable
procedures for complaints and grievances.
Board Communications to Staff
1. All official communications, policies and directives of staff interest and concern will
be communicated to staff members through the Superintendent.
2. The Superintendent will employ all such media as are appropriate to keep staff fully
informed of the Board's concerns and actions.
Visits to Schools
1. Trustees should make a point to visit each school of the District not less than once
each school year to examine its condition and needs.
2. Individual Board members interested in visiting schools should, out of courtesy,
make arrangements for visitations through the principals of the various schools.
3. Such visits shall be regarded as informal expressions of interest in school affairs
and not as "inspections" or visits for supervisory or administrative purposes.
Social Interaction
Staff and Board members share a keen interest in the schools and education. When
they meet at social affairs and other functions, informal discussion on such matters as
educational trends, issues, and innovations and general District problems can be
anticipated.
