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.
Field Trips
In scheduling transportation for field trips, the Superintendent may approve the use of private vehicles in situations in which budget or schedule restrictions make it prohibitive or impractical to use school buses.
Student Self-Transportation
At certain times, and under certain circumstances, it may be advisable and allowable for students to transport themselves or be transported by means other than District vehicles. The Superintendent will establish administrative rules to speak to these possibilities.
