Show Free Press - Tuesday. December 31, 1985 - Page 7 Utah Valley Notes Alpine School District passes policy A number of new policies to guide the operation of schools in the Alpine School District were adopted at the Dec. 10 business meeting of the district Board of Education. These included "Visits to the Schools," "Participation in Community Life," "Parent Complaints," 'Gratuities-Al- l and Personnel," "Community Group Activities Involving Students." Under the "Visits to the Schools" policy, members of the community and other interested persons are welcomed and "strongly encouraged" to visit the schools. The policy also states that while the board of education reaffirms its position of wanting school patrons to visit the schools, "it also clearly its responsibility to recognizes assure that educators, students and staff are free from any attempts of harassmert or infliction of bodily harm, or in any way interfere with orderly educational processes." It concludes "principals are to take actions necessary to make visitors feel welcome while at the same time assuring the safety and well being of students and employees." In the second policy, district employees are encouraged to actively participate in, and with, parent organizations, service clubs and other community groups. By involving themselves in such groups, school district employees will help generate better community relations, board members said. "Through their efforts, the welfare of the community will be enhanced unand greater derstanding between the schools and the citizenry will be promoted," the policy states. In another policy approved at the members and meeting, board district employees are not allowed to either offer or accept gifts if the acceptance or offering of the gift could reasonably be interpreted as an attempt to influence the conduct of district business. Dr. Clark Cox, superintendent, board of education complaints, members encourage the resolution of parent complaints on an informal basis at the level closest to the problem. "There shall be regulations that outline the procedures for parent complaints about actions of district employees and also about programs and schools," the policy says. It goes on that the procedures shall be fair to all parties and shall provide that solutions will be rendered "in a courteous, objective and timely manner." said teachers and others may accept gifts which are nominal in value and are given freely on a promotional basis to other district employees. Students can still give gifts to their teachers if they desire. Dr. Cox said. "They might be trying to influence a grade (by doing so), but I doubt if district could influence they business," Dr. Cox quipped. aimed at students, parents, district employees or the community is taken up in another of the approved policies. The solicitation of pupils to contribute funds to any organization, or to work for any organization not directly under the control of school authorities is prohibited unless the proposal is authorized in advance by the Board of Education, it says. The board of education also discourages the use of time and effort by the schools, studentbody organizations and students during classroom hours for fund raising and charitable drives.
