Most of these groups also coordinate volunteer activities, fund raising, and special events. We believe that most decisions about a child s education should be made by those closest to the child his or her parents, teacher, and principal. While the administrative office provides resources and maintains districtwide standards, your school is largely responsible for its own management, with the principal as its chief. Principals actively encourage and solicit input from parents on matters ranging from curriculum to student activities to discipline. Many decisions are made by a school support team, which consists of parents, teachers, support staff and the principal.
Parents regularly participate in committees at the district level, as well.
If Problems Arise Questions and misunderstandings cannot always be avoided. When problems arise, the district wishes to solve the problem as quickly as possible. If the concern involves an individual child, contact the teacher to discuss the problem. The school secretary will have the teacher return your phone call, or can arrange a meeting time. Most concerns can be quickly and easily resolved by this procedure.
