 School Board Policy Manual

Introduction

Pages 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

This manual contains the policies of the Pittsylvania County School Board. 

Policy development in a modern, forward-looking school system is a dynamic, ongoing process.  New problems, issues and needs give rise to the continuing need to develop new policies or to revise existing ones.  This is why the Board employs the loose-leaf format for this manual.  It is easy to keep up to date.

Each person holding a copy of this manual is to make a diligent effort to keep it up to date as new policies are distributed by the Superintendent’s Office of the Pittsylvania County Schools.  The Clerk of the Board will provide up-to-date policies to each person, office or library holding a copy of this manual.

How to Use this Manual

The Pittsylvania County School Division operates according to policies established by the Pittsylvania County School Board.  The Board, which represents the State and local community, develops policies after careful deliberations and the school administration implements these policies through specific regulations and procedures.  The Board then evaluates the effects of its policies and makes revisions as necessary. 

In the interests of harmony, efficiency, uniformity of interpretation, coordination of effort and in fairness to all concerned, the Board makes this manual available to all who are affected by its policies.  Copies will be maintained in the school libraries, area public libraries, principals’ offices and School Board/Superintendent’s Office. 

PLEASE NOTE:  All copies of this policy manual are the property of the Pittsylvania County Schools.
