The Board of Education is well aware of the increasing importance to the nation's productivity and future well-being of its citizens that students enter the labor market with employable skills and attitudes. The Board and staff of the District also recognize that the necessary educational effort involves close cooperation among interested parties and that decisions regarding the curriculum should not be made without appropriate input from those affected by the educational results.

In order to obtain more effective assistance from one group particularly affected by the students' entry-level skills, the potential employer, the Board shall establish a Business Advisory Council to serve as a continuing advisory group to the Board and administration.

The Council shall be composed of fifteen (15) members.

The purpose of the Council shall be to assist the staff and Board in determining whether or not its curriculum is and continues to be both appropriate and adequate for ensuring that students can enter the labor force with knowledge, attitudes, and skills that are considered relevant by employers.
