  • BOARD POLICIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS RATIONALE AND CONCEPT

    Board Policies and Administrative Regulations are currently under review and revision. This electronic version may not reflect current board policy in all topics. For example, certain Human Resources policies, under Article 4 - Personnel, were revised, Board approved and implemented during the 2003-04 school year. To determine whether a policy or regulation properly reflects the latest date of adoption or approval, please contact your administrator/supervisor or the respective area of responsibility.

    Essential to the operation of the school district is to have clearly defined policy. Also essential, is to have sufficiently clear and detailed regulations to implement and administer the policy.

    Policy adoption is the function of the Board of Education. Policy development is a cooperative enterprise involving the board, the school administration, employees and their organizations, parents, students and interested members of the community.

    A policy is a guide for discretionary action. A policy expressed the intent of the board and the expectations it has regarding the operation of the school system. Policy statements guide the board in making decisions and provide clear indications of the practices the administration will follow.

    Formulating regulations is the task of the superintendent and staff. Regulations are needed to interpret and implement the board's intentions when expressed in policies.

    Regulations specify a required action or describe an administrative response. A regulation tells what is to be done and who is to do it and when.
