Work Station Visitation. The District will make a reasonable effort to afford an opportunity for the teacher to confer with the classroom visitor before and/or after the visitation. All unannounced visitors shall be reported to the principal's office. Requests from parents or others to take students from classes must be authorized by the superintendent or his/her designee. Academic Freedom No special limitations shall be placed upon study, investigation, presenting and interpreting facts and ideas concerning branches of learning provided that the employee adheres to the curriculum rules and written policy established by the District. These responsibilities include a commitment to democratic tradition, a concern of the welfare, growth and development of children, for an insistence upon objective scholarship. No mechanical or electronic device shall be installed in any classroom or brought in on a temporary basis by means of which a person shall be able to listen to or record the procedures in any class without the employee's knowledge and written permission. As a vital component of academic freedom, teachers shall be primarily responsible for decisions regarding the methods and materials used for the instruction of students: provided, however, that such decisions are in keeping with curriculum guidelines, state and national standards, and written policy established by the District.
