Employee Education and Experience

Each school under the Charter Holder maintains information regarding each employees educational and teaching background and experience in a particular academic content subject matter for all current employees that provide instruction to students. All parents or legal guardians of students enrolled in a school under the Charter Holder are notified that the Employee Education and Experience information is available for inspection upon request. This paragraph does not require any school to release personally identifiable information in relation to any teacher or employee, including the teacher's or employee's address, salary, social security number or telephone number. A.R.S. §15-183(F)

Reach out to your campus administration to request Employee Education and Experience information.

Parental Visits

Each charter school governing board under the Charter Holder will adopt policies for parental classroom visits, tours and observations in accordance with H.B. 2025. H.B. 2025, 55th Legislature, Second Regular Session (2022).

As a school of choice, we understand that parents are the most important influence in a child’s education. We encourage frequent and open dialogue between home and school. Parents are welcome to come to school to visit for events and may schedule time to observe their child’s classroom. For reasons of safety and to help us keep track of campus visitors, we request that parents report to the office and sign in before going to a child’s class or visiting the campus. We also ask parents to notify teachers when visits are planned and avoid conferences with the teachers during such visits so the teacher can conduct class without disruption to the learning environment.

When visiting during school hours, parents are asked to leave small children at home since young children often distract both students and the parent. Younger brothers and sisters or non-Franklin friends are not permitted to attend classes. Visitors who are not immediate family or unaffiliated with the school may visit only with principal approval.

Because BFCS is attended through parental choice, it is expected that parents will reserve and attend at least one tour and informational session to learn the scope of the education and expectations at BFCS. These informational sessions and tours of the school are offered via requests through the BFCS website.
