Policy 914 - Relations with Community Organizations

The purpose of this policy is to define the parameters of the relationship between community organizations, the school district, and individual schools.

   A. The School Board recognizes that the community service responsibilities of a district rightfully extend beyond provision of academic instruction to youth. It is aware that such responsibilities sometimes entail cooperation with governmental and community agencies in offering types of services for which schools are especially qualified or equipped. Such services may include but are not limited to charitable solicitations, disease immunizations, and health and safety screening programs.

B. The superintendent or designee is directed to evaluate each request for the district to facilitate or support externally sponsored public services. The superintendent or designee should approve only those in which community interest is favorably balanced against the time and
personnel resources which the district directs to such facilitation or support. All approved community services should be implemented in a manner which will minimize diversion from the district's primary instructional mission.
