The Board, of course, is kept informed of all school system regulations issued by the administration, and all are subject to Board review. Also, in the absence of policy thought necessary, it is the superintendent's responsibility to recommend policy to the School Board. The manual contains all the current written policies of the School Board. But there is a continual need to adopt new policies, and revise old ones. Additionally, state and federal laws and agency regulations change.
Policy development is a continuing process.
Order of Precedence School Board policies and regulations must be read and interpreted in the light of the federal and Virginia statutes and regulations. Wherever inconsistencies of interpretation arise, federal and Virginia law and regulations prevail. It is the hope of the School Board that this collection of policies will make a greater harmony and efficiency possible in all areas of school operations.
