Policy manual maintenance

lots of book spines

OSBA's manual maintenance subscription is available to community colleges, education service districts, school districts and public charter schools, and includes:

  • Subscription to Policy Update;
  • Electronic storage and organization of the subscriber's policy manual on OSBA server;
  • Access to Word files of the policy manual.

Review and adoption guidelines

Process

The subscriber can access Policy Update to download the recommended updates; OSBA suggests applying/transcribing the recommended changes to current policies and administrative regulations. At times, a complete replacement may be suggested.

After adoption of recommended changes (suggested in Policy Update) or own edits suggested by the board or administration, send OSBA the final version of newly adopted policies and/or administrative regulations, in Word, with the adoption date, and with changes apparent including strikeout of deletions, tracked additions and resolution of all bracketed language. 

Policy staff will review board changes and provide feedback as appropriate. Policy support staff will make revisions as requested to the subscriber's electronic documents maintained by OSBA and return newly reformatted policies and/or administrative regulations, including new adoption dates, legal references, and cross references, in Word. 

Certain conditions and other costs may apply. Public charter schools may access this subscription with a Memorandum of Understanding from their sponsor. Contact your school's sponsor and OSBA to aid in accessing this subscription today.

 
For new subscriptions or questions contact OSBA Policy services or call 1-800-578-6722 or 503-588-2800.
