Board Policies

School board policies are made available here as downloadable PDF files and are organized into categories.

The former policy manual for the school district has been rescinded and therefore removed from the Web site. The new policies approved at the March 25, 2008, school board meeting can be found below. Some proposed policies have been temporarily removed from the new policy manual pending school board review.

Anyone who would like to see any rescinded policies on a given topic or any proposed policies that have been temporarily withdrawn from the new policy manual should contact Bev Norton, Secretary to the Superintendent, at bev.norton@rtsd.org.
