We Want Your Feedback on DCSD Board Policies
The Douglas County School District Board of Education is conducting a comprehensive review of all its policies. Board policies have historically been updated on an as-needed basis. This is the first time a systematic approach will be used to ensure that policies match current district practices and are aligned with statutory requirements.
The process will range from reviewing policies that haven’t been updated in as long as 25 years, to creating and approving new policies as required by Colorado State Statute. The Board of Education has contracted with the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) to provide professional expertise and assistance during this revision process. The revised policies will also be reviewed by DCSD's General Counsel. It is anticipated that the review and revisions of all policies will be completed by the end of the 2019-2020 school year.
“It is a huge undertaking, but one that is critical to ensure proper accountability and decision making with regards to staff, students and the community,” said David Ray, President of the DCSD Board of Education.
As the Board of Education are trustees elected by the voters to govern the school district through policy -- we want your feedback on the recommended revisions, updates and proposals for new policies.
Please take a look at the policies listed below, then provide your feedback via this online form.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please email Sandy Maresh, Assistant Secretary to the DCSD Board of Education at [email protected].
