BALANCING POWER
Parents and educators have different responsibilities when it comes to educating students. For both parties to carry out their respective mandates effectively, each must acknowledge the role, responsibilities, and rights of the other.
FAIRNESS
Processes for resolving issues must be fair and equitable. All parties must feel that their own views and those of others have received a fair hearing and have been adequately taken into account in the outcome.
TRANSPARENCY
All communication should be open and all information freely available to all involved.
