School Board Policy Issues

I am very surprised that there were differences on some of the issues with Board Policy.  I really thought that some of the issues were going to be pretty cut and dry for each district.  It was very surprising to me that they weren't.  Being from a rural school I also assumed that if there were differences, there would be less wording and issues addressed by our Board Policy.  I found that some of the answers from people in larger school districts had more outdated policies than our small rural district.  Board Policy is something that is probably something that a school district should review/amend more often than they do.  Some of our policies were last amended in the early 1980's and there didn't seem to be any answer for new questions related to the topic.  I have a lot to learn about what I can and can't do related to Board Policy.
