POLICY ADOPTION, MANUALS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

Proposed new policies and proposed changes in existing policies will be presented in writing for reading and discussion.
Generally the final vote for adoption should take place at the next succeeding regular or special board meeting. Any written
statement by any person relative to a proposed policy or amendment should be directed to the superintendent prior to the
second reading. The board may invite oral statements from staff members or patrons as an order of business.

When the board of directors is considering a district policy or amendment to policy that is not expressly or by implication
mandated by state or federal law, but is in the best interest of students or necessary for the effective, efficient or safe
management and operation of the district, the proposed policy will be described according to the Open Public Meetings Act,
Ch. 42.30 RCW. The board of directors will provide an opportunity for public written and oral comment on such policies
before adoption or amendment.

Policies as adopted or amended are included in the minutes of the meeting at which action was taken and included in the
district's policy manual.

Policy Manuals
The superintendent develops and maintains a current policy manual which contains the district’s policies.

The manual is intended both as a tool for district management as well as a source of information to patrons, staff and

others about how the district operates. The manual is available electronically online. Apapereepyis-maintained-atthe
distriet-offiee; Printed copies of individual policies may be made at any school.

Administrative Procedures
The superintendent will develop administrative procedures necessary to ensure consistent implementation of policies
adopted by the board.

When a written procedure is developed, the superintendent will submit it to the board as an information item. Procedures
need not be approved by the board, though it may revise them when it appears that they are not consistent with the
board's intentions as expressed in its policies. Procedures need not be reviewed by the board prior to their implementation;
though on controversial topics, the superintendent may request prior board consultation.
