Student Involvement in Decision Making
School Board Approved: June 6, 2005

The role of the school is to create a stimulating learning climate, which develops active involvement of students in their education and develops a spirit of inquiry. The Board believes that a student should:

• Be encouraged to participate in planning classroom activities and in improving courses of studies.
• Feel free to express, without fear, their own opinions, recognizing that every privilege and right has a corresponding responsibility.
• Be 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.
• Be encouraged to participate in a variety of extra-curricular activities to broaden their educational experiences.

The Board may choose to add a nonvoting student member from a high school in the District to the Board.
