The Ocean Gate Board of Education will draw on the knowledge and opinions of the community in developing mandated policies and programs in compliance with statute and administrative code, and to aid in meeting the district’s identified needs.

The board of education encourages local businesses and individual residents who are especially qualified because of training, experience or interest to take an active part in the district’s educational programs. Those persons and representatives of businesses identified by the chief school administrator and the staff and approved by the board may be invited to act as advisors in groups or individually in appropriate circumstances and situations.

The district shall also take advantage of the physical and financial resources of the community and of organizations including businesses when such facilities or locations provide learning and enrichment opportunities not otherwise available to our pupils. Pupil safety shall be a primary concern in making use of such resources.

In accordance with law, the administration shall identify and establish working relationships with licensed community agencies that are involved in evaluation and treatment of drug/alcohol problems.
