How does the superintendent adopt new regulations?
A proposal to modify or adopt new regulation is submitted to the superintendent's cabinet for review and modification. The proposed regulation is then submitted to Leadership Council for its review and comment. (The Leadership Council includes the superintendent, cabinet members, and school principals.)
In addition, those who would be affected by changes to regulations, rules or procedures are consulted, including, when applicable, staff, students, parents/guardians, and the community.
After the Leadership Council reviews the proposed regulation, it returns to cabinet for final review and adoption. The new regulation is then posted to the Web site.
