Board Policy Handbook

Trustees
  • Meetings
    • Electronic Board Meeting Packages
  • Expense Transparency
  • Board Policy Handbook
  • Four-Year Education Plan

One responsibility of the Board of Trustees is to develop and approve the Board Policy Handbook. This Handbook has been developed to highlight and support the very important governance function of the Board. In addition to clearly defining the role of the Board, the role of the Superintendent, and the delegation of authority from the Board to the Superintendent, it includes the following as policies:

  1. Foundational statements that provide guidance and direction for all activities within the Division;
  2. Directions for how the Board itself is to function and how individual trustees are to conduct themselves; how Board committees and representatives are to function;
  3. Statements as to how appeals and hearings will be conducted;
  4. Non-delegable matters such as school closures and policy-making; and
  5. Specific matters which the Board has chosen not to delegate to the Superintendent. 

Board Policy Updates

At the May 25, 2022 Board Meeting, trustees approved the following policy amendments:

  • Board Policy 13: Appeals and Hearings Regarding Student Matters
  • Board Policy 18: Alternative Programs
  • Board Policy 19: Welcoming, Caring, Respectful and Safe Learning and Working Environments

Several amendments were made to the policies—all to strengthen clarity, language and readability.

  • Board Policy 1: Division Foundational Statements - amendments reflect the new mission and belief statements developed as part of the Four-Year Education Plan: 2022-26 (Year 1)

Board policies are available for review in the Board Policy Handbook. 
Administrative Procedures are available for review in the Administrative Procedures Manual.

Community Engagement

From time to time, the Board of Trustees may invite feedback from parents, students, staff, and the community as it considers revision to Board Policies and/or development of new Board Policies. 

Links to current community engagement opportunities related to Board Policies are listed below.
