I. The school board recognizes that effective communication plays a vital role in student achievement. Open communication creates a climate of mutual understanding and cooperation among all stakeholders; including staff, students, parents, business people, and citizens. This cooperation creates a better learning environment and additional support for students. Based on this philosophy the school district will provide timely, accurate, and clear information about the district’s goals, programs, progress, and challenges. It will also solicit input from stakeholders as part of the ongoing decision-making process.

II. The district’s strategic communications plan will be developed and updated annually.
