**KA - SCHOOL/COMMUNITY RELATIONS GOALS** **Last Updated Date:** 07/08/2014 **Adoption Date:** 01/10/2006 The School Committee believes that the district is an integral part of the community and that community support is necessary for the district's operation and achievement of excellence. The School Committee and district staff members recognize that community support is based on a mutual exchange, a dynamic process in which the district contributes to the community's success and, in turn, benefits from the community's resources. In order to maintain productive relationships with the community, the district is committed to sustaining: - Communications that facilitate dialogue, encourage involvement in district programs, and create community advocacy for its public schools. - Volunteer and community service programs that provide mutually enriching experiences for students, staff, and community volunteers. - Recognition programs that publicly honor the contributions of our students, employees, and community partners.
