The board believes that:
- the education of students is best served through the co-operative efforts of students, parents, district staff, elected school trustees, business, union and association staff representatives, and community members;
- parents should be active participants in their child's education and have a role in guiding student decision making;
- school councils should work closely with their school and the district to ensure that students receive the best possible education; and
- parents, business, and community members can assist in the development of responsible citizens through co-operative working relationships with schools and the district.
In order to assist community groups wishing to support teaching and learning, the superintendent is authorized to approve district endorsement of community activities or projects that reflect the district's mission statement, priorities and mandate to achieve superb results from all students. Endorsement may be in the form of referral letters for groups to use when securing funding from foundations, funding agencies or businesses and/or permission to use the district's logo for inclusion on promotional materials.
