LBC: RELATIONS WITH NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS

Private Schools

In accordance with state law, the School Committee will approve a private school when it is satisfied that the instructional program of the school equals that of the town's public schools in thorough­ness, efficiency, and progress made.

The Committee recognizes that many worthwhile contributions are made to this community by parochial and other private schools. There­fore, it will cooperate with these schools in matters of mutual ben­efit when law does not expressly prohibit this cooperation.
