209.6 REVIEW AND REVISION OF POLICY

The board shall, at least once every five years, review board policy.  Once the policy has been reviewed, even if no changes were made, a notation of the date of review is made on the face of the policy statement.

The board will review one-fifth of the policy manual annually according to the following subject areas:

·       Board of Directors (Series 200) and Students (Series 500)

·       Administration (Series 300) and  Education Program (Series 600)

·       School District (Series 100) and Employees  (Series 400)

·      Building and Sites (Series 800)

·       Non-instructional Operations and Business Services (Series 700) and School District-Community Relations (Series 900)

It is the responsibility of the superintendent to keep the board informed as to legal changes at both the federal and state levels.  The superintendent will also be responsible for bringing proposed policy statement revisions to the board's attention.

 

If a policy is revised because of a legal change over which the board has no control or a change which is minor, the policy may be approved at one meeting at the discretion of the board.
