Code: AB
Amity School District 4J
Adopted: 6/8/88
The People and Their School District
The Board believes that: (a) the public schools belong to the people who created them by consent and who support them by taxation; (b) the schools are only as strong as the intelligent and informed support of the people of the community; and (c) the support of the people must be based upon their knowledge of, their understanding about, and their participation in the aims and efforts of the public schools.
The Board, therefore, reaffirms and declares its design and intent:
- To keep the citizens of the district regularly and thoroughly informed through all channels of communication on all the policies, programs, problems and planning of the school system, and to carry out this policy through its own efforts and the efforts of district staff;
- To invite the advice and counsel of the people of the school district at all times, especially at all open meetings of the Board; and
- Through citizen advisory committees appointed to consider those problems which vitally affect the district.
