Board/Staff Communications
Every reasonable means of communication is encouraged throughout the education community. Nevertheless, an organization must maintain some order and structure to promote efficient and effective communications.
Staff Communications to the Board
All official communications or reports to the Board from principals, supervisors, teachers, or other staff members shall be submitted through the Executive Director. This shall not deny any staff member's right to appeal to the Board administrative decisions, provided that the Executive Director shall have been notified of the forthcoming appeal and that it is processed according to the applicable procedures for complaints and grievances.
Board Communications to Staff
All official communications, policies, and directives of staff interest and concern will be communicated to staff members through the Executive Director. The Executive Director will employ all such media as are appropriate to keep staff fully informed of the Board's concerns and actions.
Visits to Schools
Directors should make a point to visit each site of the Charter School not less than once each school year to examine its condition and needs. Individual Board Members interested in visiting school sites should, out of courtesy, make arrangements for visitations through the principal of the school. Such visits shall be regarded as informal expressions of interest in school affairs and not as "inspections" or visits for supervisory or administrative purposes.
Social Interaction
Staff and Board Members share a keen interest in the schools and education. When they meet at social affairs and other functions, informal discussion on such matters as educational trends, issues and innovations, and general Charter School problems can be anticipated.
