Board Policies/Vision

School boards can provide leadership by setting policies that encourage and prepare key people to collaborate and work in partnership among various school-community stakeholders:

  • For parents and community leaders—Develop seminars and workshops to help parents and community leaders engage in and support improvement strategies in after-school programs and building better partnerships among schools, youth-serving organizations, and community groups.
  • For teachers, principals, and after-school program directors—Develop institutes, methods, and materials to effectively engage parent and community groups, faith-based organizations, youth, older citizens, and civic groups, as well as businesses, arts and cultural groups, and colleges.
  • Adopt official policies to support after-school programs within the district.
