to explain the programs, achievements and needs of the schools;
to determine what residents expect from their schools and which particular areas of the school program, policies, or operations need further clarification or explanation;
to keep staff members fully informed;
to operate, insofar as required, in public session, as speedily and efficiently as circumstances permit, and with public participation;
to recognize pupils as a "public" entitled to both be heard and to be provided with reasons for policies and practices which relate to them; and
to inform school personnel that community opinion depends upon the daily life of the school.
