The Board of Education believes that education is a continuous process throughout life and supports the position that the District should cooperate with other community agencies in providing educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities for all of its citizens. The school, in this setting, becomes a force for community service and improvement; and the values the community seeks for children in the regular school program are, thus, available for all citizens through the community and/or adult program.

With regard to community education, the Board may provide programs outside the regular school day for the purpose of meeting the avocational, recreational, and cultural, interests of the community as well as the vocational/technical training and retraining needs of local workers.

With regard to adult education, the Board also may provide a basic and high school continuation program as an opportunity for anyone over the age of sixteen (16) who is not attending high school and, if under the age of eighteen (18), has a currently-valid Age and Schooling certificate issued by the Superintendent or by the student's district of residence to complete the requirements for a high school diploma.

The Board may also maintain an Americanization program of instruction for the benefit of foreign-born residents of the District.

The Superintendent shall develop and implement administrative guidelines whereby the schools are available to citizens of the District for the above-stated purposes.
