Franklin-McKinley ESD | BP 0000 Philosophy, Goals, Objectives and Comprehensive Plans
Concepts And Roles
The Governing Board believes that public education is essential to a democracy. In order to have a populace that is literate, educated and productive, there must be an ongoing partnership between parents/ guardians, students, educators, and the community.
To prepare students to succeed in our increasingly complex society, the schools must be guided by:
1. A philosophy that puts the needs of students first
(cf. 0100 - Philosophy)
2. Goals that set the educational agenda
(cf. 0200 - Goals for the School District)
3. Comprehensive plans that ensure consistent, thoughtful and well-coordinated efforts to fully develop all students' capabilities
As part of its responsibility to establish a vision for the district, the Board shall ensure that the district's philosophy, goals and comprehensive plans are clearly articulated and regularly reviewed.
(cf. 9000 - Role of the Board (Powers and Responsibilities))
