Note to Manual Users Statements in this manual are filed in accordance with the EPS/NSBA school board policy classification system which provides an efficient means for locating policies and regulations that pertain to school governance. The manual is divided into 12 sections, or chapters, each bearing an alphabetical code: A - Foundations and Basic Commitments B- School Board Governance and Operations C- General School Administration D- Fiscal Management E- Support Services F- Facilities Planning and Development G- Personnel H- Negotiations I- Instructional Program J- Students K- School-Community-Home Relations L- Education Agency Relations Subclassification under each heading is based on logical sequence and alphabetical subcoding. There is an index for each section that lists the policies in that section that are in place in MSAD #74.
How to find a policy. There are multiple ways to find a policy (or regulation) in the manual: First and easiest is to put into the search field on the top right hand side of the page: policy <keyword that you want to search for> The search will search all the webpages, but because you put "policy" in the search field the top finds will be the policies. Or- Consider where the policy would be filed among the 12 major classifications. Turn to the table of contents for that section and glance down the listing until you find the term that most closely fits the topic you are seeking. Use the code letters given for the term to locate the sheet which will appear in alphabetical order by code within the particular section. (All pages of the manual are coded in the upper right-hand corner.) Or- Turn to the code finder index at the end of the manual. The code finder is an alphabetical index of terms used in education. Look up your topic as in any index, find the code, and use the code to locate the sheet in the manual. What if you can find the term and code, but there is no policy or regulation? This means that MSAD #74 has no written policy or important regulations in the particular area. All terms used in the classification system appear in the sectional tables of contents and code finder to accommodate the coding, insertion, and finding of policies or regulations that may be issued later. However, there is one other possibility. A brief statement related to the policy you are seeking may be incorporated in a "superior" policy which covers the area generally. This "superior" policy will be coded under a more general term. Policy development is a continuing process. So from time to time, new policies, regulations, and reference documents will be developed, coded according to the classification system, and issued for insertion in the manual.
