The public information program of the Board and the district shall be directed by the Superintendent, who shall arrange to keep the public informed regarding the mission, goals, policies, administrative operations, objectives, and successes or failures of the schools and shall provide interpretation and explanation of the schools' plans and programs. The district's budget, its annual goals and its progress toward achievement of them, its special education plans, its basic skills improvement plan, its bilingual/ESL program, pupil progress, graduation statistics, and any other information (such as the Quality Assurance Report) shall be communicated to the public as required by law.
