POLICY 1-4.2 SCHOOL VISITATIONS

Each Montgomery County School Board member will attempt to visit various schools throughout the year when invited for regular programs and special events or when the School Board member has time available or has special interest in a particular program.

School Board members acknowledge that they are guests in any school they visit. They will stop first at the principal's office to advise the principal of their presence and determine if there are any special considerations that should be observed while visiting. Principals are encouraged to have School Board members visit the total school when possible rather than attempting to present only selected programs.

School Board members will contact the division superintendent if they have questions or concerns resulting from their visits.
