JCSD Policy

Board policies will be subject to alteration, addition or deletion only upon majority vote of the Board at any regular or special meeting in which all members have been notified in writing of the proposed alteration, addition or deletion at least 24 hours in advance. In most cases, a first reading of the policy will be scheduled on a regular meeting agenda prior to its adoption at a subsequent regular meeting.

A proposed change in policy will not be made at the meeting in which the change is proposed unless an emergency arises. A quorum of the Board is required to declare an emergency situation.

The formal adoption of policies will be recorded in the Board minutes. Only those written statements so adopted and so recorded will be regarded as official Board policy.

Any formal motion or action of the Board which, as a revision of existing policy, creates, amends or supplements policy will be called to the attention of the Board when reviewing the minutes for formal adoption.

Board policy documents will be printed and assembled in loose-leaf booklets and/or maintained electronically. When additions, deletions or amendments are made to Board policy, the addition, deletion or amendment will carry the adoption date and the corrected copy will be published and inserted in each Board policy manual at the earliest opportunity and/or updated electronically.

The operation of any section or sections of policies not established by law or specifically listed in the current collective bargaining agreement may be temporarily suspended by a majority vote of the Board at a regular or special meeting.

The policy manual will be reviewed at the beginning of each year to keep it current.
