POLICY MANUAL

July 18, 2011

Unless otherwise noted all of the following policies were re-adopted July 18, 2011.

I N D E X

To The

SCHOOL BOARD POLICY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

The index includes many terms that do not appear in the policy

classification system. These are underlined and cross-referenced to appropriate

descriptors. In addition, major descriptors appear in several places. This again

is to facilitate the user's search for correct term placement in the system.

The purpose for indexing many terms not appearing in policy is to be

able to adapt both the index and the policy classification system to the wide

diversity of school districts that are using this KASB contracted service.

action;

Fulfills professional responsibilities with honesty and integrity;

Supports the principle of due process as required by law and protects the civil and

human rights of all individuals;

Obeys local, state and national laws;

consistent with sound educational goals;
