The policy statements shall be the basis for the information of regulations by the administration. The board shall determine the effectiveness of the policy statements by evaluating periodic reports from the administration in the area of the policy statement.
Policy statements may be proposed by a member of the board, administration, school district personnel, students, or any other member of the district community. Proposed policy statements or ideas must be submitted to the board through the office of the superintendent in order to be placed on the agenda of a school board meeting. It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to bring these proposals to the attention of the board.
