Sample Policies

Updated July 2022

I've converted KASC's sample policies to Google Docs format, and edited them to better match our needs. I only update these once each year, but you can check KASC's website for the most recent updates if you're a member.

KDE also has sample policies (starting on p. 116). In my opinion they aren't as readable, they aren't updated as frequently, and they are only available in PDF format so aren't easily editable.
