3112 - BOARD-STAFF COMMUNICATIONS
The Board of Education desires to maintain open channels of communication between itself and the staff. The basic line of communication, will, however, be through the District Administrator.
| A. | Staff Communications to the Board | |
| All personnel shall refer matters requiring administrative action to the administrator immediately in charge of the area in which the problem arises. The administrator shall refer such matters to the next higher authority when necessary. All employees shall have the right to appeal any decision made by an administrator to the next higher authority and through appropriate successive steps to the Board. | ||
| All communications from staff members to the Board or its committees shall be submitted through the District Administrator. This procedure is not intended to deny any staff member the right to appeal to the Board on important matters through established procedures. | ||
| If any matter is not resolved in the above procedures, a written appeal may be made directly to the President of the Board. | ||
| B. | Board Communications to Staff | |
| All official communications, policies, and directives of the Board of staff interest and concern to the staff will be communicated through the District Administrator, who shall also keep staff members fully informed of the Board's problems, concerns, and actions. | ||
| C. | Social Interaction | |
| Both staff and Board members share a keen interest in the schools and in education generally, and it is to be expected that when they meet at social affairs and other functions, they will informally discuss such matters as educational trends, issues, and innovations, and general activities of the District. However, since individual Board members have no special authority except when they are convened at a legal meeting of the Board or vested with special authority by Board action, discussions between staff and Board members of personalities or personnel grievances will be considered to be unethical conduct. |
