Last summer, the BC School Trustees Association established the Board Policy Review Advisory Committee to develop guidance to support boards of education to review and modernize their policy manuals.
As boards of education govern through policy, this work is integral to ensure effective governance and accountability to the local community and to support the board’s statutory role under the School Act.
BCSTA released the guidance, Policy Review for Boards of Education, this week and it is available on the BCSTA member portal. Boards are encouraged to engage with BCSTA and senior district staff to establish a process to review and modernize their policies.
