LEVERETT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

SCHOOL/COMMUNITY RELATIONS GOALS & INVOLVEMENT

The School Committee believes that the District is an integral part of the community and that community support is necessary for the District's operation and achievement of excellence.  The School Committee and District staff members recognize that community support is based on a mutual exchange, a dynamic process in which the District contributes to the community's success and, in turn, benefits from the community's resources.

In order to maintain productive relationships with the community, the District is committed to sustaining:

  Effective, accurate, and meaningful communications that facilitate dialogue, encourage involvement in District programs, and create community advocacy for its public schools.

•  Volunteer programs that provide mutually enriching experiences for our students, staff, and community volunteers.

•  Recognition programs that publicly honor the contributions of our students, employees, and community partners and express pride in our individual and collective accomplishments.

•  Community service efforts which enable the District's staff and students to express their commitment to the community.

The School Committee shall encourage residents to assume an active role in school affairs.  From time to time, residents may be invited by staff, administration and/or the Committee to act as advisors. Such involvement may include advisory positions or election to:

  • School Committee or its subcommittees
  • School Council
  • Committees created by the school administration or staff
  • Union #28 committees
  • Family/Teacher/Community organizations

 

The School Committee shall encourage community involvement and input in a manner that is both manageable for school administration and meaningful and appropriate for the designated process.  The Committee, administration and staff will listen and carefully consider the advice and input they receive from individuals and community groups as they use their best judgment in arriving at decisions.
