Policy 7510A

BOARD POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE

Reference: W.S § 21-18-304

The Board considers policy development one of its chief responsibilities. The Board may adopt such policies that are authorized or required by law, related to accreditation criteria, or determined to be necessary for the efficient and effective operation of the district. Board policies are statements of intent by the Board on specific issues within its jurisdiction.

Administrative Procedures are statements of how Board Policy is to be implemented, and are the responsibility of the College President. The Board reserves the right to direct that Administrative Procedures be revised should they, in the Board’s judgment, be inconsistent with the Board’s own policies.

Board policies have been written to be consistent with provisions of law, regulation, and accreditation criteria, but may not encompass all laws related to district activities. All District employees are expected to know and observe the provisions of law pertinent to their job responsibilities.

Board Policy may be adopted or revised at any regular Board meeting. Proposed new policies or revisions shall be introduced not less than one regular meeting prior to the meeting at which action is recommended. 

Development of Board Policy is governed by Policy 7510B. The Board shall take action after hearing the recommendations of the Policies and Procedures Committee and the College President, or as otherwise provided by policy.
