Policies provide guidance to the administration by telling what is wanted and why , but do not address the details such as how, by whom, where and when. Policies are in written form and are maintained in policy manuals which are available for examination at the various schools within the CCSU as well as at and superintendent's office. If a citizen wishes to have a policy clarified, modified or drafted for adoption by the school board, he or she should address the suggestion to the CCSU school board via the superintendent s office.
Procedures are detailed directions which are developed to put policies into practice.
They tell how , by whom , where and when things are to be done. In most cases procedures are developed by the administration and do not require School Board approval. Occasionally, a specific policy will call for school board involvement in the development and approval of an associated procedure. This area includes all aspects of student involvement within the school setting such as academic performance, social skills, health-related issues, etc. Constant communication is encouraged.
