Board of Education Policy Manual Updates

Under state law, there is a formal process by which policies are added to or changed in a school district's policy manual. All proposed changes must appear on the agenda of at least two Board of Education meetings before being approved. Proposed changes appear first as a discussion item at one meeting. Board members cannot vote on the change until a subsequent meeting. Policies are reviewed periodically to keep them up-to-date.
