Board Policies & Rules
The policies and administrative rules of the Grand Rapids Public Schools Board of Education, Kent County, Michigan, are the result of a combined effort of the professional staff of the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB), the Board of Education, and the District's staff.
The staff of MASB has written the policy and rule model and integrated into that model the valid policies and procedures selected by the District at the time of the first draft. After forwarding the first draft a MASB staff member and selected staff members of the District worked in consort to edit all of the proposed policies and rules resulting in preparation of a final draft to be presented to the Board of Education.
The Board has appointed a Policy Committee to review language, laws, and the current environment to update or create a new policy.
The Superintendent is responsible for: (1) planning and presenting to the Board the District's budget; (2) implementing the budget; and (3) at least quarterly, providing the Board with financial reports which include all fund balances. The budget will represent the culmination of an ongoing process of planning for the fiscal support needed for the District's educational program. It is the goal of the Board to adhere to all State of Michigan and local government requirements in adopting the operating budget. The budget will be based on GAAP and GASB pronouncements as applicable.
