Policies and Procedures
The Board of Education sets local education policy consistent with state and federal laws governing public education. At the direction of the Board, the Superintendent and the school system administrative staff develop procedures and administrative regulations to support policy decisions.
Policies and Procedures Under Consideration
Policies and Procedures Revised But Not Yet Implemented
The Board approved a new policy on November 4, 2010, that sets ethical standards for Board members, employees, and volunteers. Proposed changes to current Ethics Regulations have been submitted to the State Ethics Commission for review and approval. The effective date of Policy 2070 and the revised Ethics Regulations will be determined upon approval by the State Ethics Commission.
Public Input
As policies are developed or revised, the public is urged to provide input. Policies under review are available at the Board of Education Web Site (BoardDocs), along with their current status. The timeline for public hearings and adoption is included with each draft policy. Comments may be submitted via email by using the Comment link.
The public is invited to testify at the public hearings, or to write or phone Board members once the draft policy is published.
