151.1

POLICY REVISION OR RETIREMENT

If the Appleton Area School District’s adopted policies are outdated, do not reflect current District views on a subject or current District practice, are no longer consistent with other Board policies or provisions of current employee handbooks, or do not comply with current legal requirements, they should be revised accordingly or retired from the Board policy manual.

Policy Revision

A policy revision is simply an update to an existing policy on the same topic with the same policy code.

Policy Retirement

A policy retirement is the removal of an old or outdated policy without replacement.

Board Duties

Proposed revisions or retirement of any policies that are included in the Board’s formal policy manual will be brought before the Board for consideration at two separate meetings (the relevant Board subcommittee and full Board). Policy revisions involving emergency matters or non-substantive updates may be taken directly to the full Board for consideration. A standard majority vote at a full Board meeting is necessary to approve revisions or retirement of Board policies.
