Regular or Ongoing Review of Policies Motions at meetings, or actions of the Board, that seem to change, add to or delete policy of the Division will be noted by the Superintendent’s Department. These motions or actions will be reviewed by the appropriate committee and presented to the Board at a subsequent meeting for consideration of adoption into the Policy Manual.

Trustees or Senior Administration may make suggestions at any Board meeting for a modification of the Policy Manual.

Any person may suggest to the Board changes in the Policy Manual by filling in the form Request for Change to Policy Manual. (See BE-E).

Policy Drafts The administrative staff will be responsible for recasting group consensus about policy recommendations into acceptable written form for further deliberation and/or action by the Board.
