Although many institutions within society contribute to the development of an educated person, it is the school which is the only agency that is specifically charged with a formal and legal responsibility for the education of each student. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the schools within the Delaware Community School Corporation shall function under a basic philosophy which recognizes that education is a continuous process which provides for the optimum mental, physical, emotional, social, moral, and group, and individualized instruction shall be placed upon the acquisition of knowledge, concepts, skills, and values.
The
focus of the school effort shall be the interaction of the student and the
teacher in the learning process, RECOGNIZING PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IS AN ESSENTIAL
ELEMENT IN OUR EDUCATION PROCESS AND PROGRAMS.
The Board of School Trustees recognizes that the optimum education
growth of the students will be directly influenced by the ability of the
Delaware Community School Corporation to provide and maintain the highest
caliber of professional and non-professional personnel, facilities, equipment,
and materials which may be legally and financially feasible.
The
rapid changing world in which we live and the continual expansion of the
learning process make it imperative that an environment be promoted which
assures the professional staff the freedom to develop and maintain a vital
curriculum and the opportunity to grow professionally.
