This symbol following a code indicates that the statement is an administrative procedure or a reference document, such as a calendar, application form, etc., rather than a policy. Cross references are provided following many statements to help the reader find all of the related information he seeks. The manual contains all of the current written policies of the Board of Trustees to date. But continually, the need for putting additional policies in writing, for adopting new ones, and revising old ones becomes apparent. Additionally, provincial law and regulations change.
Policy development is a continuing process.
So, from time to time, new policies, rules, administrative procedures, and reference documents will be developed, coded according to the classification system and entered in the manual. Order of Precedence Board of Trustees policies, rules and administrative procedures must be read and interpreted in the light of the Manitoba Statutes and Regulations. Wherever inconsistencies of interpretation arise, the law and provincial regulations shall prevail. Terminology To avoid problems of wording, masculine pronouns used in this manual refer to both sexes. It is the hope of the Board of Trustees that this collection of policies, rules, and administrative procedures will make greater harmony and efficiency possible in all areas of school operations.
