The current Hogan Preparatory Academy Board policies have not undergone a formal review for more than 10 years.  As a result, we have policies which are outdated, have fallen out of line with best practices, or simply do not exist.  To make the necessary updates, corrections, and additions, the Superintendent and his staff will present revised Board policies for review.  These new policies will follow best practices as outlined by Missouri Consultants for Education (MCE) or the Missouri Charter Public School Association (MCPSA). 
We hope to present these revised policies, by section, throughout the remainder of the current fiscal year, with the objective of having all Board policies reviewed by June 30, 2020.
