Introduction

These policies are statements, adopted by the charter board, that:

• guide the governance of our school;
• reflect our values as a board; and
• create a framework within which we charge our superintendent to administer the operations of the school.

Our policies set the terms by which the charter board governs. They are written expressions of our principles.

Administrative procedures are the procedures and practices established by or adopted by the superintendent that direct the administration in the implementation or achievement of the results expressed in or intended by board policy statements.

Whereas board policy statements express values and define important objectives, administrative procedures focus more closely on how the administration operates and manages activities within the school.
