You will find policies related to curriculum and instruction (below), as well as additional District policies, on our District website at: http://www.boarddocs.com/pa/bellasd/Board.nsf/Public?open&id=policies
Policies 105 - 108 relate to curriculum, instructional materials, planned instruction, and adoption of textbooks.
Board Policy, as defined in #009 of the Policy Manual, defines them as principles adopted by the Board to chart a course of action. They should tell what is wanted and they may include the "why" and the "how much." Policies should be broad enough to indicate a line of action to be followed by the administration in meeting a number of problems and narrow enough to give clear guidance. Policies are guides for action by the administration whose responsibility it is to then set the rules and regulations to provide specific directions to the school district personnel through either specific actions or administrative policies.
