OBJECTIVE

The District School Board recognizes the need for Administrative Rules Statements to guide the day-to-day operations of the District as well as the individual schools. These Rules embody the philosophical foundations, beliefs, and core values of the District and the Board of Education. As such, they establish parameters within which employees, particularly school and District administrators, exercise their decision-making authority.

Proposed or revised Administrative Rules shall be reviewed and approved by cabinet level staff, the Superintendent, and the Board in compliance with Board Policy BDF. A new or revised Rule officially repeals other Rules or parts thereof which are inconsistent with the most recently approved Rule. Changes in conflicting Rules shall be made by the Policy and Planning office after involved cabinet members are notified and no objections are raised.

RULES

Proposed or revised Administrative Rules shall be reviewed and approved by cabinet level staff, the Superintendent, and the Board in compliance with Board Policy. A new or revised Rule officially repeals other Rules or parts thereof which are inconsistent with the most recently approved Rule. Changes in conflicting Rules shall be made by the Policy and Planning office after involved cabinet members are notified and no objections are raised. 

Changes in the wording of a Rule of an editorial nature, such as corrections of grammar, changes of personnel titles, wording clarification, etc., that do not alter the intent or provisions of the original Rule may be made by administration but only published after Board review. 

Each administrative division will annually review Rules affecting that division. It is recommended that each division maintain a review group to:

• Perform the periodic review of the division’s Rules and Forms;
• Evaluate requests for new Rules and Forms; and
• Review suggestions for changes to existing Rules and Forms.
• All employees are expected to be familiar with Board Policies and Administrative Rules that pertain to them.
• True and complete copies of all Rules are maintained on the District web site and are available for inspection and review by employees or members of the public.
