Policy Reviews
I really enjoyed the discussion as we worked through the various policy scenarios. I found it interesting that there was so much variation from district to district in both the language and rationale for the policies. In this class we have the very rural small districts as well as the larger inner-city schools represented. Each of the policy updates for the scenarios that I chose had all been adopted in 2007. Currently our board is going through the process of updating our entire Board policies by using the IASB services. Before class, I thought that my district was going to be extremely outdated with our current policies, and I was quite surprised that ours were in line with most of the other districts.
