School District of Amery - District Policies

Policy document with check marks and lines

The Board of Education policies serve as guides for discretionary action. They are narrow enough to provide clear guidance to the District Administrator, yet broad enough to leave room for discretion.

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 ext. 272 or by email
