I thought the policy review exercise was a very worthwhile activity. I found that our policy manual needs updating as it was hard to find the answer to even 5 of the questions. Some of our policy dates dated back to 1985. Our assistant superintendent is well aware that the policy needs updating, but she says it just hasn't made it to the top of the priority pile. From the thickness of the manual I would say that it would be quite an undertaking to review and update. From reading our manual, to listening to others share from theirs, it is becoming more apparent that there are a lot of gray areas in School Policy.
