209.6 - Review and Revision of Policy

The board shall, at least once every five years, review board policy.  Each year, the board may make a determination about the sections and/or series of the policy manual and the specific policies in the policy manual to be reviewed.

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.
