All efforts should be made to include all classroom community members.

The district I work in is incorporating open and transparent ways to doing business. In the face of our budget crisis our district has hosted roundtable discussions to get community input as to how budget dollars are spent and allocated. This method was selected by our board of education to be inclusive of our diverse community and to allow for awareness of student, teacher, and administrative needs within a school district. It allows them to peel back the curtain and makes the community aware of the process.
