Policies are statements of intent and are based upon the mission statements, mandate and core values of the SD8 Board of Education.
Policies direct and guide school district operations. They are broad enough to allow discretionary action, yet clear enough to provide clear direction to district staff.
The regulations that accompany each policy are the administrative procedures or rules of conduct that allow for the fulfillment of the policy statement.
