Decision-Making: Student Involvement

A primary task of our school system is to create a stimulating learning climate that develops active involvement of students and develops a spirit of inquiry. Such a climate is created when students work with the school staff in planning and evaluating school programs.

The board believes that students should:

• Be encouraged to participate in establishing course goals, in planning classroom activities, and in improving courses of study;
• Feel free to express without fear their own opinions, recognizing that every privilege and right has a corresponding responsibility;
• Involved in the planning of assembly programs and school-sponsored forums of interest;
• Be encouraged to participate in student government organizations that provide students with a voice in school affairs.
