RELATIONS WITH BOOSTER ORGANIZATIONS

The Board recognizes that the endeavors and objectives of booster organizations and similar groups can be a valuable means for stimulating interest in and endorsement of the aims and achievements of our public school system.

Generally, action initiated by boosters provide the atmosphere and climate to weld together desirable community-school relationships.

Booster-proposed plans, projects, or movements must be evaluated and promoted in light of their stated contribution to the academic, as well as the athletic and musical program of the schools. Careful consideration must be given to the total value of all students, rather than to specific elements such as teams and band participants. Care must be taken to avoid compromising or diluting the responsibilities and authorities of the Board.

Therefore, any plan, project, or movement instituted to expand, modernize, renovate, or otherwise render maintenance to school controlled and/or owned properties, or provide academic achievement awards and other educational recognition to students or student bodies, will be presented to the Board in official session for its consideration, comments, evaluation, approval, and sponsorship (where required). This must be done before any public announcement is made.
