What is the new procedure for linking to School Board policies and forms?
To reduce redundancy and eliminate outdated forms and policies, please link directly to the page the policy or form currently resides on. If the office or school happens to make any updates, your website will continue to be accurate. This reduces confusion for parents and staff. The Board of Education asks that you do not download and upload a policy or form to your website.
