The Board of Education accepts as policy the philosophy of the Community School Program. The Board believes that education is a continuous process throughout life and supports the position that the District should cooperate with other community agencies in providing educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities for all of its citizens.

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 community school program.

The Board shall provide community education programs for youths who have completed twelfth (12th) grade and any person over the age of eighteen (18) years.

The Board also may provide an adult basic and high school continuation for youths over the age of sixteen (16) who are not attending high school as an opportunity to complete their requirements for a high school diploma.

The purpose of community education programs shall be to meet the academic, vocational, avocational, cultural, and aesthetic interests of the community.

The purpose of community education programs shall be to meet the vocational/technical training and retraining needs of local workers.

The Superintendent shall develop and implement administrative guidelines whereby the schools are available to residents of the District for the above-stated purposes and such programs have equal access to the District's facilities and its instructional equipment, materials, and supplies.
