Board Policies & Committees
Board Policies
Board policies have been developed to highlight and support the very important governance function of the Board. In addition to clearly defining the role of the Board, the role of the Superintendent and the delegation of authority from the Board to the Superintendent, and are intended to be supplemented by Division Administrative Procedures, by which the Superintendent directs staff.
Board Committees
Board committees are established to assist the Board of Trustees in meeting role and responsibilities as governors. The Board grants authority to its committees to undertake work at the Board’s direction, with recommendations for action to return to the Board of Trustees for decision.
