Policy Services...
The policies established by local
boards of education serve as the local school district's management
tool in the interim between meetings of the school board. In order
that the board's intent and direction are followed, it is best that
each local board's policies be identified, codified and kept centrally
organized, such as in a policy manual.
GSBA, through its Policy Services Program, assists local school
boards and system staff in policy development through a number of
services and activities. Services available to school systems are:
