205: Developing Administrative Procedures
Responsible Administrator: Superintendent
PURPOSE
Administrative Procedures are the written directives, procedures and assignment of responsibilities established and approved by the Superintendent that direct the implementation of and achievement of desired outcomes of Board policy, Division Vision, Mission and Values, and the effective operation of the Division.
The Superintendent expects that all staff are familiar with the Division’s administrative procedures.
With the passage of time and with emerging needs, administrative procedures may require creation or review.
Regular review of Administrative Procedures, with opportunity for input by the appropriate stakeholders, leads to effective operations within the school system.

4. Revisions to the draft Administrative Procedure will be completed by the appropriate Senior Executive and forwarded to the Superintendent for final approval.
5. Draft administrative procedures are reviewed and approved by the Superintendent and become effective as of the date of approval.
6. Any decisions or amendments arising from a review of administrative procedures shall be communicated expeditiously to all affected stakeholders.
