The board shall, at least once every two years, review board policy. Once the policy has been reviewed, even if no changes were made, a notation of the date of review is made on the face of the policy statement.

The board will review the policy manual annually according to the following subject areas:

Policy Series	Review	Approve
100 Series - School District	August	September
200 Series - Board	September	October
300 Series - Administration	October	November

It is the responsibility of the superintendent to keep the board informed as to legal changes at both the federal and state levels. The superintendent will also be responsible for bringing proposed policy statement revisions to the board's attention.

If a policy is revised because of a legal change over which the board has no control or a change which is minor, the policy may be approved at one meeting at the discretion of the board.
