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.
Employees will not have a direct financial interest in District purchases or benefit directly from any financial transaction with the District, except for specialized services in an amount less than $500 upon approval of the Superintendent.
Purchases of or use of District property, materials, or personnel by employees will be in accordance with good business practices and within the framework of applicable laws, regulations, and Board policies.
The Superintendent, their cabinet, and any other administrator deemed by the Superintendent to be in a position to influence the purchase of any goods or services will annually, or as changes occur, sign and file a conflict of interest disclosure statement.
