The board supports educational partnerships and sponsorships between schools and business, and community organizations that:

  • enhance the quality and relevance of education for learners;
  • mutually benefit all partners;
  • ensure that all those involved in the partnership are treated fairly and equitably;
  • clearly define expectations, roles, and responsibilities for all partners;
  • are based on shared or aligned objectives that support the goals of both parties;
  • allocate resources and volunteer services to complement - not replace - public funding for education;
  • ensure that corporate image or business practices are not in conflict with district policies or beliefs;
  • provide opportunities for all partners to share in the development of responsible citizens; and
  • do not require an exclusive endorsement of products or services.
