The objective of the instructional program is the
achievement of the goals set by the Board of Education. The primary
goal of the Board is to provide each child regardless of socioeconomic
status educational opportunity which will prepare him/her to function
politically, economically and socially in a democratic society. Since
the individual grows and matures at his/her own rate, the intellectual,
emotional, and physical challenges which he/she must experience in the
learning process must also vary. To this end the Board directs the
building of a school program which never knows completion, but is
adaptable enough to keep pace with the ever-growing fund of knowledge
and ideas which challenge society each day, and yet be flexible enough
to encourage and assist each child to meet his/her needs.
In order to implement this philosophy the Board shall
develop in consultation with the chief school administrator and
teaching staff members, a written education plan for the district as a
whole and each school within the district. This plan shall be reviewed
and adopted annually and shall include:
written educational goals.
written education objectives, both long and short
range on a five-year cycle, based upon these goals.
standards for assessing and evaluating the
achievement of objectives.
an assessment of pupil needs.
the establishment of reasonable pupil minimum
proficiency levels in the basic communication and computational skills.
an educational program consistent with these goals.
objectives. standards and needs.
