SITE BASED DECISION. MAKING SHARED DECISION MAKING Decisions, which directly impact the learner, are often best made at the school level where the needs of the learner are best known. A shared decision-making model that involves employees will build trust, will result in higher quality decisions, will ensure ownership of decisions, and will create a base of support for school initiatives. In the event a site-based decision-making team decision requires a waiver of any school board policy, district/building administrative program, or state rule or regulation, the administration will review the waiver as needed. In the event a decision by the team contains a provision that is contrary to a collective bargaining agreement, such provision shall be submitted to the district and the union for consideration of a mutually satisfactory accommodation for a specific period. In the event that a decision impacts a support department, the team will seek an accommodation of the impact with the appropriate support department administrator and staff. Site-based teams may include all interested employees. Decisions, which directly impact the learner, are often best made at the school level where the needs of the learner are best known.
