Policies

Policies adopted by the School Board.

The New Hampshire School Board Association, of which the Monroe School Board is a member, sends us suggested policies to address new laws, regulations and social issues as they arise.  These drafts have been reviewed by their legal staff.   The Monroe School Board modifies them to fit our specific situation and then discusses them at Board meetings.  We discuss each policy at a minimum of two public meetings before it is adopted.  Over the years, we have adopted policies to cover most situations.  Many have been updated--some several times.  Updating policies is an ongoing process upon which we continuously work.

The Monroe School District uses the term Superintendent and District Administrator interchangeably throughout the policies. The Monroe School District considers both terms, Superintendent and District Administrator, to have the same authority.
