CHAPTER 9.00 SCHOOL-COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS

9.02 Public Information

Because the schools belong to the people who created them by consent and who support them by taxation, it is the declared intent of the School Board: 

(1) To keep the citizens adequately informed through appropriate channels of communication on policies, programs, problems, needs and the planning of the school system and to carry out this policy through its own efforts and the office of the Superintendent. 

(2) To seek advice and opinion of the people of the School District. 

(3) To require each school and the District staff members to cooperate in keeping the public informed of all newsworthy events which would be of interest or concern to the citizens of the District and which would promote the welfare of the school system; provided, that any news release by a particular school be reviewed and approved by the principal, and that any release relating to the District as a whole shall be approved by the Superintendent.
