What is the difference between a board policy and procedure? 

 A Board Policy is the responsibility of the School Board.

• Provides guidelines to chart a course of action.

• Tells what is wanted - and may include why and how much.

• Allows discretionary action by the administration in meeting day-to-day problems.

• Is specific enough to give clear guidance.

• Can only be modified through formal analysis, review, and adoption by the School Board. 

A Board Procedure is the responsibility of the superintendent.

• The superintendent can change procedures as the need arises. 

• Establishes the mechanics for implementing policy.

• Lists the steps to be followed.

• Contains important details, the do's and don'ts.

• It is not adopted by the Board but is assigned to the superintendent to create and manage.
