BG School Committee Policy Development

SCHOOL COMMITTEE POLICY DEVELOPMENT

The School Committee will develop policies and put them in writing so that they may serve as guides for the discretionary action of those to whom it delegates authority.

The formulation and adoption of these written policies will consti­tute the basic method by which the School Committee will exercise its leadership in providing for the successful and efficient func­tioning of the school system. Through the study and evaluation of reports concerning the execution of its policies, the School Committee will exercise its control over school operations.

The policies of the School Committee are framed, and are meant to be interpreted, in terms of state law, regulations of the Massachusetts Board of Education, and other regulatory agencies of the various levels of government.

The School Committee reserves the right to adopt, deviate from, suspend or repeal any policies within its legal purview as it may from time to time deem circumstances to warrant.
