SCHOOL - COMMUNITY GROUPS
Code No. 903.1
The board values the participation and the support of school district-community groups, including, but not limited to, the booster club and parent-teacher organizations, which strive for the betterment of the school district and the education program. The board will work closely with these groups.
Prior to any purchase of, or fund raising for, the purchase of goods or services for the school district, the group will confer with the superintendent or designee to assist the group in purchasing goods or services to meet the school district's needs.
Funds raised by these groups for the school district are separate from the accounts of the school district.
It is the responsibility of the building principal to be the liaison with the school district-community groups affiliated with the building principal's attendance center.
Parent-teacher associations may be established for each school building in the district. The building principal of each school shall serve as the liaison officer representing the school system.
Membership and rules governing school building organizations shall be determined by each school. Activities of school organizations, insofar as they are related to school purposes, shall be evaluated by the principal of the particular school.
School building organizations may be members of a system-wide Parent-Teacher Council, whose purpose shall be to coordinate the efforts of the individual school organizations toward common goals.
