Do any of your schools have guidelines in place to clarify relationships =
between the school and parents who volunteer their professional =
expertise to assist on campus projects -- above and beyond the usual =
volunteer hours, in return for tasks that they would normally be =
compensated quite well? I am thinking, for example, of an architect =
parent who gives her time to develop plans for a new classroom, or a =
landscaper parent who spends a great deal of time working on a master =
plan for the school grounds, or a software engineer...you get the drill.=20=
In these economic times, we are seeing more of these school/parent =
relationships, and I am eager to keep them as clear and well-defined as =
possible -- particularly because some of the projects may not come to =
fruition, and it's tough to tell a parent who has put a lot of time and =
professional expertise into a project that, in fact, it might not be =
funded that year.=20
Thanks,
