One of the main roles of the Board of Trustees is the development
of policy to govern the operation of the School Division. Policies are
defined as principles adopted by the Board to chart a course of
action. They need to be broad enough to indicate a line of action to
be taken by the administration in meeting the day-to-day operation of
the School Division. They need to be narrow enough to give the
administration clear guidance. Administrative Rules or Procedures are
the detailed directions developed by the administration to put policy
into practice.
The administration is not authorized to act outside of Board policy
or to waive policy without the approval of the Board.
