All rules, regulations, or procedures (collectively, "rules") developed pursuant to Board policies will conform to the intent of the policies. The Board will not approve or adopt rules except when the Superintendent or legal counsel believe formal adoption is necessary or desirable because of potential litigation, public attitudes, or possible scholar or staff reaction. The Superintendent has the authority to develop and implement all necessary rules authorized by Board policy or state statute. All rules will be published on the District's website. Particular rules will be provided to the applicable staff in a manner determined by the Superintendent. Applicable rules will be provided to scholars through the Student Handbook. The Superintendent will keep the Board informed of any rules developed to implement Board policy and will periodically present them to the Board for review. The Board may veto any rule when, in the judgment of the Board, they are inconsistent with Board policy or intent.
Rules may be issued by the Superintendent directly without adoption of Board policy.
In the development of rules, the Superintendent may include representatives of staff, the community, or scholars who will be affected by such provisions.
The Superintendent will carefully consider the advice given by employees, community members, and scholars, especially those given by groups designated to represent large segments of the respective populations. In addition and when applicable, the Superintendent will inform the Board of such counsel in presenting reports of administrative action and recommendations for Board action.
In cases of an emergency in which action must be taken within the District, where the Board has provided no guides for administrative action, the Superintendent will have the power to act, but their decisions will be subject to review by the Board at the next Board meeting. The Superintendent will inform the Board promptly of such action and of any need for policy.
