Stakeholder Input Information
Involving Stakeholders
A stakeholder is a person, group, or organization that has an interest or concern in an organization. Stakeholders can affect or be affected by the organization's actions, objectives and policies.
As a Director who values input from stakeholders, Mr. McLain has created two committees that he meets with throughout the year. The first group, The Teacher Advisory Committee, is comprised of teachers from each of the Greene County School Campuses. This group provides feedback, innovative ideas, and other valuable input. The second group, The Parent Advisory Committee, is made up of a group of parents from different schools.
