Policies and Procedures for the Port Townsend School District

The Board of Directors (the "School Board") of the Port Townsend School District is the corporate entity established by the state of Washington to plan and direct all aspects of the district’s operations to the end that students shall have ample opportunity to achieve their individual and collective learning needs.

The Policies of the board define the organization of the school board and the manner of conducting its official business.

Once a Policy has been approved by the school board, the district superintendent develops a Procedure for implementing the Policy. The school board approves all Procedures before they take effect.

The district's Procedures provide a mechanism to integrate the school board's policies into the day-to-day activities of the district, and outline the responsibilities of all administrators, staff, and students.
