THE PURPOSE OF PARTNERSHIP
The Shenendehowa Central School District accepts as its Mission, the responsibility to work continuously and in partnership with the community to ensure that all students develop and demonstrate the knowledge, skills, abilities and character needed to live useful, productive and rewarding lives.
The partnership team is charged with guiding and shaping shared decision making within the school to create and support a learning environment that best meets the needs of students. Shared decision making is driven by the belief that the most effective choices are made when those affected by the decision are involved in the decision making process. It is a process by which members of an educational community cooperate in identifying and implementing activities to advance and improve student learning. This process is used to assist with the realization of programs and services, collaboratively decide on issues, and resolving problems. The goal is utilize the expertise and perspective of the representatives to develop recommendations for improving student outcome.
