The South Central Calhoun Community School District is currently updating board policies at monthly meetings. Policy development is a dynamic, ongoing process. New problems, issues, and needs give rise to the continuing need to develop new policies or to review existing ones. The district operates according to policies established by the board of directors. The board develops policies after careful deliberation, and the school administration implements them through specific regulations and procedures. The board reviews and evaluates these policies and makes revisions as necessary.
Updated policies since September 2011 posted on this site are underlined. All other policies are available by contacting the district office:
712.297.7222 or wgeno@scc.k12.ia.us
712.297.7341 or ccollins@scc.k12.ia.us
712.464.7210 or bmccarter@scc.k12.ia.us
The manual is organized according to a numeric codification system. There are nine major classifications bearing a numeric Series Code. Subclassifications under each numeric Series are based on a logical sequence and coded by the subclassification numeric code. The index pages that follow each tab present the policies included in that Series. These index pages serve as a table of contents for each Series.

How to Read the Signs and Symbols
A variety of signs and symbols are used in concert with the numeric codification system:
R - This symbol following a policy code number indicates the statement is an administrative regulation rather than a board policy.
E - This symbol following a policy code number indicates the statement is an exhibit rather than a board policy.
Legal Reference - This sign indicates the legal references. They tell the user where the user may find the statutes, case law, attorney general opinions, or administrative rules that give authority to a policy.
Cross Reference - Many policies in the manual relate to other policies in the Reference manual. Cross references are provided to assist the user in finding all of the related policies.
