Board Policies

The Board is working through a comprehensive review of its policy manual. Within each section, both the board policy and administrative guidelines are reviewed accordingly. Board policies are presented to the Policy Committee for review, and then, they move through a First Reading and Second/Final Reading review and approval process during the monthly public meetings. The administrative guidelines are reviewed by district administration. After the Second and Final Reading, the revised policies and guidelines are published on the district website.
