Farmdale Elementary School

Weaver Union School District - Board Policy Manual Global Update One of the major functions of the Board of Trustees is to determine policies of operation for the Weaver Union School District (WUSD). WUSD has had several outdated policies that needed revision. WUSD worked in partnership with the California School Boards Association (CSBA) during this past year to develop and propose the attached revised policies which are the most current and compliant according to legal code and best practices in the state of California for public school systems. In formulating policies, the board, acting through its executive officer, the superintendent of schools, solicits the assistance of staff to develop and revise policies. Proposals or amendments of board policy are adopted only after a thorough review. They are first introduced in writing (called “first reading”) during a school board meeting as being requested during this current meeting, Wednesday, September 13, 2023. The policies represent a cooperative study by the board, administration, and appropriate school personnel. The board assumes sole responsibility and authority for the enclosed policies. These policies stand as written until proposals or amendments are approved by the board. All of these policies have been developed in terms for the purposes of the WUSD. It is the aim in policy development to continue the improvement of the program of instruction and school district performance toward better meeting the educational needs of our students. The goal is that these policies will serve as a guide to all the personnel of the WUSD schools. The board will be take action and be asked to approve these revised CSBA vetted policies at the upcoming board meeting on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 after this initial review. Questions or comments regarding any of these policies may be directed to the Board via email to the Executive Assistant, Susie Fagalde (sfagalde@weaverusd.org), or during the Public Comment portion of the regularly scheduled Board meeting. The Board will not engage in a discussion of the matter being brought to it but will, if appropriate, direct the Superintendent to respond at a later time.
