The school board adheres to the principles of Policy Governance ©. The board has written four sets of policies: Ends, Executive Requirements, Board-Superintendent Relationships, and Governance Process. The Ends policies describe the student outcomes the superintendent is charged with achieving. The Executive Requirement policies set the parameters within which the superintendent must operate as he/she leads the district toward the expected Ends. The BoardSuperintendent Relationships policies describe the way in which the board will oversee the superintendent’s performance and the superintendent will support the board. The Governance Process policies describe how the board and its individual members shall conduct business, represent the community, and relate to each other.

 

No less than once per year, the Board receives and considers evidence regarding the level of compliance with the provisions of these four sets of policies, a few at each meeting. The following are those policies to be monitored during this meeting.
