  A. Required Board Policies - Final Big Push
   
WA Charters created this Charter Required Policies spreadsheet to aid in boards adopting all the necessary policies, procedures, manuals, and handbooks.

It is highly recommended, with a few exceptions, that schools adopt slightly modified WSSDA (Washington State Charter School Directors' Association) model policies and procedures to accomplish this task.

Proposed motion: I recommend the board approve the following policies and procedures and the following handbooks and plans as presented.
