The board shall, at least once every five years, review board policy. Once the policy has been reviewed, even if no changes were made, a notation of the date of review shall be made on the face of the policy statement.
The board will review one fifth of the policy manual annually according to the following subject areas:
• Administration, Employees (Series 300 and 400)
• Students (Series 500)
• Buildings and Sites, School District-Community Relations (Series 800 and 900)
• School District, Board of Directors (Series 100 and 200)
• Educational Programs, Noninstructional Operations and Business Services (Series 600 and 700)
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to keep the board informed as to legal changes at both the federal and state levels. The superintendent shall also be responsible for bringing proposed policy statement revisions to the board's attention.
If a policy is revised because of a legal change over which the board has no control, the policy may be approved at one meeting at the discretion of the board.
