The Board believes that:

  • the education of students is best served through the co-operative efforts of students, parents, district staff, elected school trustees, business, union and association staff representatives, and community members;

  • parents should be active participants in their child's education and have a role in guiding student decision making;

  • school councils should work closely with their principal, school community and the District to ensure that students receive the best possible education; and to encourage parental and community involvement at the school level;

  • parents, business, and community members can assist in the development of responsible citizens through co-operative working relationships with schools and the District.
