Policy
Update is an
online subscription service providing quarterly newsletters with a brief
discussion of current policy issues of concern to Oregon colleges,
education service districts and school districts. Sample policies
reflecting these issues and changes in state and federal law, if
applicable, are included.
The sample policies are
intended to provide a basis for drafting policy that meets local
needs. The samples should always be considered as open to
modification. Rarely does one policy statement reflect the needs
and concerns of all. The newsletter and policy samples are not
meant to replace the advice of legal counsel.
To make the best use of Policy
Update, it is suggested that a discussion on the various
issues be held. The sample policies should be used to determine
areas for which policy should be developed or revised, to get
ideas for what a policy should contain and as a starting point for
editing, modifying and discussing the local board's policy
position.
Policy
Update Online provides subscribers with an electronic
version of the sample policies in the following file formats: in .zip
or .sit (Mac) archives that can
be downloaded from this Web site to open in your word processing
application: WordPerfect 6/7/8/9/10, WordPerfect 5.1 Dos,
Microsoft Word 97/2000/2002, Microsoft Word 95 and Microsoft Word
4.0 (Mac).
