1. Proposed or revised policies shall be drafted and presented by the Cobb County Board of Education (Board) or the Superintendent. Policy proposals shall be held until the next regular Board meeting before action by the Board unless the Board votes to allow a policy to be acted upon sooner. 2. Policies and amendments approved by the Board shall be attached to and made a part of the minutes of the meeting at which they are adopted and shall also be included in the policy manual of the Cobb County School District (District). 3. Adoption by the Board of a new or revised policy officially repeals other policies, regulations or parts thereof which are inconsistent with the most recently adopted policy. Changes in conflicting policies shall be made by the administration after Board members are notified and no objections are raised. In the event the Board takes official action which is in conflict with an existing policy, the official action of the Board shall be deemed to have repealed the policy as relates to that particular action taken. 4. Changes in policy wording of an editorial nature such as grammar corrections, changes of personnel titles, wording clarification, etc. which do not alter the intent or provisions of the Board may be made by administration but only published after Board review. 5. On a regular basis each administrative division will review policies affecting that division. 6. True and complete copies of all District policies are maintained by the Superintendent and posted on the District Web site and are available for inspection and review by employees or members of the public. All employees are expected to be familiar with policies pertaining to them. Approved: 9/10/69 |
