POLICIES/PROCEDURES

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following policies and procedures are supervisory union-wide policies/procedures (e.g. those which have been fully adopted by the Rutland Southwest Supervisory Union board and its member districts). Local district board(s) that have specified policy and procedures which are unique to or differ from the generic supervisory union-wide policies/procedure are noted directly on the supervisory union-wide policy/procedure. Dates of adoption for each board is noted on the bottom of each policy in a table along with information defining which policy (if applicable) the supervisory union-wide policy replaced.

In most instances, double digit policies indicated those policies which originated from the Vermont School Board Association; triple digit policies indicate those policies/procedures which were created locally.

Policies/procedures which are listed in bold print on the table of contents indicate Mandatory policies/procedures (reference VSBA for further information).

Since the Ira School District has no school, unless specified otherwise, the Ira School District shall follow all policies/procedures (where applicable) as per the Rutland Southwest Supervisory Union-wide policies.

The Supervisory Union is currently in the process of updating and reviewing all policies, therefore, updates to this list and to corresponding policies and procedures is subject to change.
