103 Educational and Operational Planning and Needs Assessment
Every five years the Board shall conduct an in-depth needs assessment, soliciting information from business, industry, labor, higher education and community members, regarding their expectations for adequate student preparation. One purpose of this assessment is to assist the Board in developing and evaluating a statement of philosophy for the District. The second purpose of this assessment is to determine the areas of student performance, knowledge, and attitudes, which are judged to be most crucial in meeting District goals.
In conjunction with the in-depth needs assessment of the District, the Board shall authorize the appointment of a committee, representing District personnel, parents, students, and community members, to make recommendations and assist the Board in determining the priorities of the District, in addition to the basic skills areas of the education program.
It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent to ensure the District community is apprised of the Board's policies, programs, and goals and has an opportunity to express their thoughts and suggestions for the operation of the District. The Superintendent shall report annually to the Board about the means used to keep the community informed.
