600.00 Statement of Guiding Principles

The board recognizes its obligation and duty to provide an educational program for all students of the district. The board believes all students should have the opportunity to be educated to the fullest extent of their abilities, aptitudes, capabilities, and interests through a program that recognizes and provides for individual differences. Program innovation and change, based upon thorough research, study, deliberation, and evaluation shall be encouraged.

The district’s goals and objectives are designed to achieve the district’s mission statement. The district shall appoint an advisory committee of representatives of the community and the district, the School Improvement Advisory Committee (SIAC), to make recommendations for the education program’s goals and objectives.

The board shall annually establish short- and long-term objectives for the education program. These objectives shall reflect the results of the needs assessment, recommendation(s) of the SIAC advisory committee, recommendation(s) from the superintendent, and changes in law.

Annually, the district will report on the district’s progress toward the achievement of the education program’s goals and objectives.
