CBAA-AP: Administrative Policy & Regulations

The superintendent shall prepare and disseminate administrative policy and regulations necessary to implement board policy and shall review such rules periodically to determine their effectiveness in carrying out policies. The Board shall not approve administrative policy and regulations. However, under board policy OE 8.13 the superintendent will information the Board of significant changes to district administrative policies and submit for Board approval any changes to statutorily required policies.

ADOPTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY

The superintendent’s executive team shall adopt all administrative policies. These documents are designated with the suffix –AP in the descriptor code. All revisions and drafts of administrative policies shall be submitted to all executive team members prior to when the revision/draft shall be read and discussed. Adoption of any administrative policy or substantive amendment to such a policy shall require two readings unless otherwise waived by a consensus from the executive team when an expedited process is deemed necessary, in which case the administrative policy shall require one reading to adopt and the procedure below shall not apply.

Substantive amendments and new polices cannot undergo more than one reading at any executive team meeting. During the second reading of a new policy or substantive amendment, the executive team’s action on the proposal shall be final if the proposal is approved in an identical form as passed at the previous meeting. If a revised form of the proposal is approved, or if approval includes an amendment, the proposal shall be resubmitted for action at a future executive team meeting. Action shall be by consensus of the executive team members.

POLICY REVIEW & REVISION

The superintendent, on a continuing basis, shall call the executive team's attention to policies that are out of date or in need of revision.

If administrative policy has been either purposely or inadvertently ignored, that action will not be considered as having changed the policy. Where undue harm to persons would result from rescinding the action taken that was in violation of policy, the superintendent’s executive team may choose to honor the earlier agreement.

SUSPENSION OF POLICY

Only those policies not established by law or negotiated agreement may be temporarily suspended and then only by a consensus of the superintendent’s executive team.

REGULATIONS & EXHIBITS

The superintendent’s executive team or designees may develop regulations to implement policy when it identifies a need for procedures to implement policy. Administrative regulations shall require review and consensus by the superintendent’s executive team to adopt. These regulations shall be designated by the suffix –AR in the descriptor code.

Policy exhibits shall be developed by the superintendent’s executive team or designee when needed to help implement policy. Policy exhibits include, but are not limited to, summaries of law, forms, and other informational material. These documents are designated by the suffix –E in the descriptor code.

POLICY & REGULATION IMPLEMENTATION

Administrators are responsible for informing subordinates of existing administrative policies and regulations and for seeing that they are implemented in the spirit intended. Continuous disregard for district policy and regulations may be interpreted as insubordination and/or willful neglect of duty.
