POLICY  MANUAL

The Superintendent shall develop procedures to ensure that constituents, employees and Board members have access to a current policy manual that contains the policies and administrative regulations of the District.  A link to the online policy manual will be made available to all persons listed above.

The manual is intended both as a tool for District management and as a source of information to constituents, staff members, and others about how the District operates.  To that end, the policy manual will be available for online access.  In addition, a hard copy manual shall be available at such places as the Superintendent may determine for use by those persons who do not have access to the manual online.  Printed copies of the policy manual shall remain the property of the District and shall be subject to recall at any time.

Any administrative regulation shall be so designated and included in the manual immediately following the policy with which it is associated.

The Board's policy manual shall be considered a public record and shall be open for inspection by accessing the online link on the District's website, or if needing a hard copy, during regular business hours at the District administration office and at places designated by the Superintendent.

The online master copy of the manual will be securely maintained by the Superintendent and archived as required by Records Management Standards adopted by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records (ASLAPR).  It is this online copy that will be used to resolve any discrepancies in language existing in other copies.
