The Board of Education believes that education is a continuous process throughout life and supports the position that the County should cooperate with other community agencies in providing education, employment and training, economic, civic, cultural, social, and recreational needs of adults in the community served by public schools. The school, in this setting, becomes a force for community service and improvement; and the values the community seeks for children in the regular school program are, thus, available for all citizens through the adult program.

With regard to adult education, the Board shall provide programs in the evening and day for the purpose of meeting the avocational, recreational and cultural interests of the community as well as the vocational/technical and retraining needs of local workers.

With regard to adult education, the Board also shall provide a basic Continuation program as an opportunity for anyone over the age of sixteen (16) who is not attending high school in this County.

The Superintendent shall develop and implement administrative guidelines whereby the schools are available to citizens of the County for the above-stated purposes.
