Code Number: 202.1
The Board has jurisdiction to legislate policy for the District with the force and effect of law. Board policy provides the general direction as to what the Board wishes to accomplish and why it wishes to accomplish it while allowing the Superintendent to implement Board policy.
The written policy statements contained in this manual provide guidelines and goals to the citizens, administration, employees, and students in the District community. The policy statements are the basis for the formulation of regulations by the administration. The Board will determine the effectiveness of the
policy statements by evaluating periodic reports from the administration.
Policy statements may be proposed by a Board member, the Board Policy Committee, administrator, employee, student, or member of the District community. Proposed policy statements or ideas will be submitted to the Superintendent’s Office for possible placement on the Board agenda. It is the responsibility of the Superintendent to bring these proposals to the attention of the Board.
The Board shall review a policy at least once every five (5) years. Each policy will include the adoption date, the review date, and any revision date.
The complete set of board policies, as currently adopted, shall be available electronically on the District’s website (www.siouxcityschools.org).
