GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF SCHOOL HANDBOOKS AND DIRECTIVES

School Handbooks are designed to assist in the administration and operation of a particular school. They are used by staff, students and parents.  They are unique to each school.

The Administrative Rules and Regulations which complement the Board Policies are more system-wide in scope and are issued by the Central Administrative Office with the approval of the Superintendent. They do not replace School Handbooks.

The Superintendent shall approve all School Handbooks prior to publication.

TEMPORARY ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENTS 2250.4

The responsibility for decision-making must be clearly delineated. This is particularly true if the Superintendent, for one reason or another, is unavailable. In these cases, there should be a clear line of administrative succession which designates both responsibility and authority.

In the event of serious illness or death of the Superintendent, the President of the Board shall call a special meeting of the Board to determine what course the district should take at that time.
