It is the belief of the Board of Education that decision-making at schools and at the district level benefits
from the advice of representative parents, staff and students
(secondary school). Therefore, each school community shall form an advisory group(s) that provides an
opportunity for such representatives to participate in the process of decision-making by advising the principal in matters
pertaining to the local school and its educational
program. Similarly, advisory groups of staff, and where appropriate,
representative parents, community members, and students, shall
advise the District on decisions that affect the educational
programs of multiple schools.
Each school shall form advisory groups that may be
required by law or District policy. The representative
membership and operations of such groups shall conform to pertinent
state law and District regulations. Other
school-based advisory groups may also be established.
The accountability and responsibility for
decisions that may be made as a result of advice from an advisory
group rest with the principal, or the
appropriate District level administrator.
