Looping Into Policy
Learn.
The Board of Education recognizes that the adoption of written policies constitutes the basic method by which the Board exercises its governance duties. To that end, the Board regularly develops and reviews the policies set for the Rochester City School District.
Since policies often affect students, parents, employees, and/or the community of the District, the Board makes a continuing effort to try to involve as many relevant groups as reasonably possible during policy development.
Unless legally required or the Board directs otherwise, stakeholders should follow the approved Policy Review Calendar.
Below is the Board-approved policy review process.
For the most up-to-date policies, visit the Rochester Board of Education Policies.
