Every school district and county office of education needs an accurate and up-to-date policy manual to effectively govern the schools under its jurisdiction. However, developing policies and regulations can be a time consuming and daunting task. CSBA's Policy Update Service can help save your district or county office of education time and money with this easy-to-use, legally-reference, three-volume sample policy manual.
The Policy Update Reference Manual contains CSBA's more than 800 sample policies, regulations, bylaws and exhibits. The samples provide models from which you can develop your own policies on such important topics as:
- Suspension/expulsion
- Sexual harassment
- Employee and student use of technology
- Parental involvement
- Student safety
- Special education
- Facilities
- Student promotion/retention
In addition, school boards are mandated by law to adopt policies and regulations on certain subjects. CSBA identifies and provides sample language to satisfy those mandates, as well as listing of those policies.
Legal references and management resources are included with each sample policy. Citations to related laws and court decisions provide a reference tool for policymakers, and management resources highlight additional materials that may be helpful to policymakers when reviewing particular policy issues.
With an ongoing subscription to Policy Update Service, you receive policy update packets containing newly developed and revised policies three times a year. These samples can facilitate an accurate updating of local policies to reflect state and federal laws and regulations, court decisions and state Board of Education recommendations. Each update packet includes a guide sheet identifying issues for district consideration and the rational for board or management action.
