As a Christian school board member or administrator, you have considerable responsibilities before the Lord and the people in His school system. One of those responsibilities is to develop or update your school's board policy manual. There are many schools, however, whose policy manuals do not reflect the actual operation of the school. Several schools have policies, but they are found in various places.
Many schools are in the process of updating their policy manuals.
A well-developed, written policy manual will keep the administrator from making capricious and arbitrary decisions. School board policies and procedures help an administrator know what to do and what not to do. Setting school board policies and procedures by which a Christian school operates is one of the school board's main functions . Next to the Bible, a policy and procedures manual is the most important book in giving direction to the board and administration on the daily operation of the school. A well-developed, written policy manual will assist the administrator in making decisions that reflect the board's thinking.
