Guiding Principles for WJUSD School-Business Partnerships
We do what's best for kids.
Students and the teachers who lead them are at the center of every WJUSD school-business partnership.
We put people first.
Our partnerships are relationship-drive. They are not based on financial support.
We respect one another's organizational purpose and guidelines
Schools and businesses understand each other's core values. They seek common ground while operating within one another's guidelines.
We create new partnership opportunities
Our partnerships are dynamic and innovative, and we always remain open to new ideas.
In each partnership, both the business and the school actively participate
School and business representatives lead the way in developing the partnership relationship, staying in touch with each other, and creating opportunities to expand the partnership.
