District Policies & Records Requests

The Board’s policies serve as guides for discretionary action. They are narrow enough to provide clear guidance to the District Administrator as he makes decisions, yet broad enough to leave room for him to use his discretion in making decisions.

After being thoroughly reviewed by the appropriate staff, the District Administrator shall present policy recommendations and support information to the Board for consideration. Only policies which have been approved by the Board are considered official Board policies and are included into the Board’s policy handbook.
 
For further information, please contact the District Office, either by telephone at 715-268-9771 or by email
