Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) Liability Waiver and Agreement

I, the undersigned, do hereby hold harmless the Collaborative Learning Community (CLC), its officers, staff, volunteers, and any associated personnel, from any and all injuries or damages that may occur to the student listed below during participation in CLC activities. I acknowledge that I am fully responsible for the student before and immediately after CLC activities.

I hereby grant permission for any CLC faculty or staff member to take whatever steps they deem necessary to obtain emergency medical care for the student listed below if needed.

In consideration of your acceptance of the enrollment, I, intending to be legally bound, do hereby waive, release, and forever discharge all rights and claims against the CLC and/or any involved personnel for damages or injury sustained by me or my child during CLC activities, whether on CLC premises or at any off-site events, including but not limited to field trips, workshops, performances, or other gatherings.

I authorize the CLC to use photos and videos taken of my child during CLC activities for marketing and promotional material.

I understand that my child is enrolled in the CLC for the academic year unless written notice is provided by email by the 1st of the month prior to withdrawal. I agree to pay all membership fees by the required due dates and understand that no refunds will be issued for missed classes or activities due to absences, weather-related closures, or holidays. I also acknowledge that my enrollment will not be official until all fees due have been paid in full.  

I agree to abide by the CLC's rules and regulations and any amendments and/or modifications that may be made from time to time at the sole discretion of the CLC.

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU): Membership Expectations

This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlines the expectations and responsibilities of families who join our homeschool cooperative (hereafter referred to as "CLC"). By signing this document, you acknowledge and agree to uphold the shared values and commitments that ensure the success and sustainability of CLC.

CLC is a collaborative effort where families come together to enrich their children's educational and social experiences. Your active participation as a member is essential to fostering a supportive and effective environment for all.

Membership Expectations

1. Attendance and Punctuality

   • Members must arrive on time and participate fully in scheduled activities. Consistent attendance is vital to maintaining the integrity of CLC and the smooth operation of classes/events.

   • If you are unable to attend a scheduled day, please inform leadership as soon as possible.

2. Contribution to Operations

   • All families are required to contribute to either setup or teardown on CLC class days. Additional specific duties may be assigned or rotated to ensure fairness.

   • Contributions may also include teaching classes, assisting in classrooms, supporting events, or providing supplies as needed.

3. Team Spirit and Cooperation

   • Membership in CLC is a team effort. Members are expected to collaborate respectfully with one another and share responsibilities to create a positive and productive community.

   • Members should communicate concerns or suggestions directly and constructively with leadership.

4. Commitment to Shared Values

   • CLC relies on mutual trust and accountability. Members agree to make a good-faith effort in fulfilling their obligations. 

   • Families who consistently fail to meet these expectations may have their membership terminated or refused enrollment in the future. 

5. Volunteer Commitment

   • All members must assist with either Opening or Closing every class day

   • All members must volunteer for at least two Operational jobs weekly

Understanding the Difference Between a Co-op and Other Groups

Unlike other social or educational groups, a co-op functions as a partnership. Participation is not passive but requires active involvement. By joining, you are agreeing to:

• Share the workload equally with other members.

• Invest your time and energy in the group’s collective success.

• Contribute to a collaborative and inclusive community.

We foster a community and students want to see the same faces every week. As a small group of homeschooling families, we rely on each other. Our goal is to create a caring and supportive cooperative. 

Acknowledgement and Agreement

By signing below, you affirm that you have read, understood, and agree to the expectations outlined in this MOU. You commit to being a reliable, engaged, and contributing member of CLC.
