The Board is ultimately responsible for all district policy, which is divided into three areas:
- Bylaws set out the specific rules, not covered by legislation, by which the Board will be governed. (Bylaws are also legally required for budgets, capital projects, disposal of lands and school closures, but these specific bylaws are not presented as part of district policy).
- Governance policies and procedures articulate and define important objectives, principles or values; and to define roles, responsibilities and authority.
- Administrative policies and procedures are operational in nature and allow for consistent and effective operations in an organization or a department.
