Administrative Procedure 121

Review of Administrative Procedures

Background

The Director of Education believes that a regular review of Administrative Procedures, with opportunity for input by the appropriate stakeholders, leads to effective operations within the school system.

Procedures

1. The Director of Education will establish an annual plan for the review of Administrative
   Procedures to align with the Division and Ministry Priorities and Direction, minimally once
   per three (3) years.
2. Review of a specific administrative procedure may be initiated at any time by a formal request
   from the Board, a School Community Council, a Principal, or an
   employee who is personally affected by that procedure. 
3. The request for such a review shall detail the issues and concerns associated with the
   Administrative Procedure and, if possible, offer suggestions for revision.
4. The Director of Education shall determine an appropriate process for reviewing a specific
   Administrative Procedure when requested to ensure that fair and reasonable consideration is
   given to the request.  It is expected that in most instances such a review will be carried out by
   the Director of Education, a Superintendent with direct responsibility in that
   area, and a Principal selected by the Director of Education.
5. The scheduled review of Administrative Procedures shall solicit input from teachers,
   central office personnel, School Community Councils, and Principals, as
   appropriate.
6. Any decisions arising from a review of Administrative Procedures will be communicated
   expeditiously to all affected stakeholders.
