Participation in Community Life

The board of education urges all staff members to become active participants in the activities of the community in which they live. The effect of such involvement is to provide the community with a better understanding of the educational program of our schools, and to gain support for our efforts to provide better education for every student.

Such activity is not required for initial or continued employment or advancement, nor does the board presume to suggest what kinds of involvement in community life are appropriate outside of the political activities which are part of the democratic tradition, yet the board firmly believes that active participation in community life on the part of its employees will work to the advantage of all, students, staff and citizens of the community.
