Policy 2720 – Shared Decision Making

In order to meet the genuine needs of the community, facilitate school success for all students and ensure the continuous improvement of ÁùºÏ²Ê½á¹û½ñÆÚ educational programs, the ÁùºÏ²Ê½á¹û½ñÆÚ endorses the process of shared decision making.  Shared decision making secures the involvement of all of the educational stakeholders—parents/guardians/caregivers, students, staff, community members, School Board members and school administrators.

Shared decision making opportunities shall be made available in the ÁùºÏ²Ê½á¹û½ñÆÚ through a variety of means, including but not limited to the following: strategic planning teams, school site councils, ÁùºÏ²Ê½á¹û½ñÆÚ and school advisory committees, councils, and task forces.

Shared decision making shall be done in accordance with established ÁùºÏ²Ê½á¹û½ñÆÚ policies, rules, regulations and agreements.  These processes shall include representation of the ÁùºÏ²Ê½á¹û½ñÆÚ/School’s diverse student enrollment.
