Reeths-Puffer Schools

Board Policy Manual

 

The bylaws and policies of the Reeths-Puffer Board of Education are divided into nine sections.  These sections are as follows:

  • 1000 - Board Bylaws
  • 2000 - General School Administration
  • 3000 - Fiscal Management
  • 4000 - Business Management
  • 5000 - Personnel
  • 6000 - Negotiations
  • 7000 - Instructional Program
  • 8000 - Students
  • 9000 - General Public and Organizational Relations

The index is designed to help the user find the subject described in the appropriate policy.  To use this manual properly, the reader should look up the subject matter in the index to the right and turn to the policy section first.  The reader should check the table of contents found in each policy section to determine whether the desired subject is cross-referenced to any other policy and to see if the symbols "Cf.," "Also" or "See" are present.  The reader should click on the numberic code in the appropriate section and read the policy.  After the reader has done this, he/she should read all cross-references and other similar referrals.

 

If by chance a policy statement is not found, one of three things has occurred:  (1) the Board does not have a policy or rule on the subject; (2) another classification (Cf.) is overriding and should be read to determine the Board's policy; or (3) the code is consolidated with another code.  This latter statement makes it incumbent on the reader to check the index and/or the table of contents before looking for the subject matter.

 

The policy classification system employs these signs and symbols which are explained below:

 

  • Scope Note (SN) - A brief statement used when necessary in order to clarify and/or limit the intended use of a descriptor entry
  • Also - A prefix to a parenthetical code to indicate that the identical term (and similar school Board policy) appears elsewhere in the classification system
  • Cf. - A prefix used to indicate a cross reference to another policy or rule of similar subject matter
  • See - A previx to a parenthetical number code to indicate the preceding code is consolidated with referenced code in the parentheses
