CHCA Approval of Handbooks

File: CHCA

LEVERETT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

APPROVAL OF HANDBOOKS AND PROCEDURES

It is essential that the contents of all handbooks conform to School Committee policies.  It is also important that all handbooks bearing the name of the school district or one of its schools be of a quality that reflects credit on the school department.  Therefore, the Committee expects handbooks requiring approval to be approved prior to publication by the Committee and/or the Superintendent.

Committee approval will be necessary for any handbooks that pertain to required standards of conduct for employees or students so that their contents may be accorded the status of Committee-approved policy or regulation.  The Superintendent will use their judgment as to whether other specific handbooks need Committee approval; however, all handbooks published will be made available to the Committee for informational purposes.
