Visitations serve as an effective means of communication among the district, its staff, and citizens.

Within the reasonable guidelines set in regulation KK-R, the right of citizens to visit district schools and classrooms is recognized. Citizens of the community and other interested persons are encouraged to visit schools and classrooms. Every effort shall be made to accommodate any and all persons desiring to make such visits.

Although the district recognizes the right of reasonable visitation, and encourages citizens to exercise it, the preservation of the instructional process and the welfare of students shall remain the district's paramount concern and duty. Coordination and approval of all visitations shall be the responsibility of the building principal, or program coordinator when the class is not under a building principal.
