Policy Working Committee

The Policy Working Committee initiates and/or considers draft policies related to the Board’s operations and philosophies and makes recommendations for approval to the Board. It receives draft procedures and independent procedures for discussion and may offer suggestions for consideration by the originating department, with subsequent referral to the Board for information. (For a full description of these documents, see Policies, Procedures, Independent Procedures.)

The Committee ensures that community input is sought on all policies, procedures and independent procedures prior to being referred to the Board for approval or information. It is responsible for directing the maintenance of accurate and current records of all Board policies and may conduct a review of policies every three years or when referred to the Committee for review.

It normally meets the fourth Tuesday of each month during the school year. The Chair of the Information Committee of the Whole serves as Chair of the Policy Working Committee.
