KBE: RELATIONS WITH PARENT ORGANIZATIONS

To foster relationships with parents that encourage the home and school to work together to establish and achieve common educational goals for students, the Superintendent and the professional staff will:

1. Consult with and encourage parents to share in school planning and in setting objectives.

2. Help parents understand the educational process and their role in promoting it.

3. Provide for parent understanding of school operations.

4. Provide opportunities for parents to be informed of their child's development and the criteria for its measurement.

To accomplish the above and to enhance communications between par­ents and school officials, the Committee encourages the maintenance of formal parent organizations. For this purpose the Committee will officially recognize parent organiza­tions so long as there is no discrimination based upon race, color, sex, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, limited English proficiency or housing status. These procedures will be observed:

1. Organizations will be officially recognized upon request by the building Principal who will file a copy of the organizational papers with the Superintendent.

2. A vote, open to all parents of children enrolled, will designate the organization to be recognized if more than one organization makes the request.
