Board members wishing to visit a school in official Board capacity shall:
- Discuss with the superintendent purpose (official capacity) and the best time to visit
- As a courtesy, notify the building principal of your visit
- Check in with the office staff upon arrival
- Follow campus guidelines for visits (sign in, guest badge, escort, etc.)
- Respect staff time and allow staff to perform their duties
- Not evaluate staff
- Not give direction to any staff or students
- Not accept gifts (other than nominal tokens) or favors from any district employee
