CHCA: Handbooks

The Board of Education recognizes the importance of parent/guardian, staff and student handbooks that accurately convey the policies, procedures and rules of the district to the individuals affected by them. The Board charges the administration with the responsibility for creating, revising, maintaining and disseminating such handbooks in accordance with Board policies and administrative procedures.

The superintendent is charged with responsibility for staff handbooks, and building principals are charged with responsibility for parent/guardian and student handbooks. The superintendent will approve all handbooks before publication, and all published handbooks will be made available to the Board.

Administrators must ensure that handbooks do not conflict with the language or intent of policies, regulations or procedures. In the event of a discrepancy between handbooks and other written district materials, Board policies and administrative procedures will take precedence. All handbooks shall be reviewed annually and revised if necessary. Each handbook will be posted on the district's website in accordance with law.
