Policy BG-R

Policy Adoption

  1. Except for policy actions to be taken on emergency measurers, the adoption of Board  policies shall follow the following sequence:  

  • Educational Policies Committee prepares new or revised policies for  consideration.  

  • Announcement and distribution of proposed new or revised policies as an item on  a regular Board agenda.  

  • Opportunity offered for concerned groups or individuals to react to policy  proposals as part of a regular Board agenda.  

  • Discussion and final action by the Board on policy proposals.  

  1. The final vote to adopt or not to adopt shall take place at a regular Board meeting unless  the item is tabled for additional public input. In the latter case, the policy will be voted  upon at the next regular meeting of the Board of Education.  

  • Prior to enactment, all policy proposals shall be titled and coded as appropriate to subject and in conformance with the codification system used in the Board policy manual.  

  • Insofar as possible, each policy statement shall be limited to one subject. 

  • Policies and amendments adopted by the Board shall be attached to and made  part of the minutes of the meeting at which they are adopted and shall also be  included in the policy manual of the district.  

  • Policies and amendments to policies shall be effective immediately upon  adoption unless a specific effective date is provided in the adopted resolution

  1. Emergency Procedure 

  • In the event that it is not practical for the Educational Policies Committee to endorse a  policy, the Board may waive this procedure and take immediate action to adopt new or  revised policies. When such action is necessary, the Superintendent shall inform  concerned groups or individuals about the reasons for this necessity.  

  1. Annual Reaffirmation of Policies 

  • The Board’s set of written policies shall be readopted at each annual organizational  meeting, subject to the understanding that all policies not established by law and/or  contractual arrangements may be changed through Board action as described above.  

Adopted: June 12, 1989
