CLARENCE CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

Memorandum

Business Office To: Board of Education From: Richard J. Mancuso Date: February 13, 2017 Regarding: Board of Education Policy Manual Attached please find the Foreword and Philosophy Statement for the entire Board of Education Policy Manual. Also attached, is the Table of Contents to Section 1000 entitled By-Laws. Erie 1 BOCES Policy Service, their attorneys and our attorneys have reviewed the recommended changes. While the full section is here, the following are policies to note changes: 1332: Duties of the District Treasurer 1338: Duties of the School Physician/Nurse Practitioner 1410: Policy and Administrative Regulations 1510: Regular Board Meetings and Rules (Quorum and Parliamentary Procedure) 1520: Special Meetings of the Board 1530: Minutes 1540: Executive Sessions The only policy we are required to have in this entire section is 1650: Submission of Questions and Propositions at Annual Meeting and Elections and Special District Meetings. I am an advocate to have a policy manual which has the most flexibility by only having the required policies. This can serve as the first reading and I would like to suggest that the Board of Education email Dr. Hicks or myself any recommendations prior to the next BOE Meeting where we would recommend adoption. RJM/ms Attachments Cc: file

FOREWORD Contained herein are the policy statements formulated by the Board of Education of the Clarence Central School District. This handbook has been developed for the primary purpose of expediting the work of the Board of Education. By enabling the Board to refer to a written statement of policy previously made should be of considerable help in making decisions about matters which come to the attention of the Board.

Policy is a governing principle of management. It is a statement that has an effect on the interests of those who come under its jurisdiction. A policy may originate from the constitution, from statute, from local determinations and/or from customary patterns of formal behavior. Subsidiary purposes of the handbook may be of equal benefit. It is the Board’s intention that the use of it may: a) Provide positive direction for the administrative staff. b) Clarify relationships between the Board and the administration, between the administration

and the staff and within the staff. c) Enable the Board to review its practices more readily. d) Provide a guide for uniform action. e) Allow more time for the improvement of the school program. f) Supply information for the Board, the staff and the public. In addition to the adopted policies, it is acknowledged that the operation of the School District is governed by and subject to all applicable Laws, Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, Civil Service requirements, Board of Education Resolutions, School Administrative Regulations and Contracts of Agreement. If any part of this manual is made invalid by judicial decision or legislative or administrative enactment, all other parts shall remain in full effect unless and until they are amended or repealed by the Board of Education. The official record of the adoption, amendment, or repeal of the by-laws and policies of the Clarence Central School District shall be the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Education.

PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT

The guiding philosophy of the Clarence Board of Education in carrying out its responsibilities under the law is dictated in a large part by the kind of District it represents. The people of this District have demonstrated repeatedly that they want good schools for their children and are prepared to support them; that they want their schools to be used for worthwhile community purposes; and that they are eager to participate in activities centered on the school. Two overriding principles govern the decision making function of the Board of Education. They are: a) To provide for each student the best possible educational program, designed to contribute to

his/her maximum intellectual, cultural, vocational and social development. b) To maintain the basic confidence of the taxpayers and voters who must pass on the annual

school budget and on every proposed new building or other capital expansion. This means that our finances must be used as wisely as possible for purposes that contribute to sound educational objectives.

In an effort to seek the ideal balance among these overriding considerations, the Clarence Board of Education will seek: a) A broad curriculum which will be continually reviewed and adjusted to meet the changing

needs of an increasingly complex society. b) A professionally competent administrative and teaching staff whose primary purpose is to

meet the needs of all of the students. c) A constant evaluation of the educational program by the professional staff, the community,

and the students to determine its effectiveness. d) The best kinds of research and experimentation aimed at continually improving the program. e) School buildings of sufficient size, equipment and flexibility, designed for a soundly planned

curriculum, at a cost commensurate with their purpose and the community's financial ability to support them.

f) Sufficient annual funds for the conduct of a sound program, keeping in mind the necessity

for utilizing all financial resources as economically as possible. g) Harmony between the schools and the community by means of communicating to the public

what the schools are doing, and to the schools what the public desires. To assist in clarifying these goals, and to provide some guidelines for consistent action by future Boards of Education, this handbook of policy is maintained with the recommendation that it continue to be reviewed and kept up-to-date by future Boards.

SUBJECT: SCHOOL DISTRICT AND BOARD OF EDUCATION LEGAL STATUS AND

AUTHORITY

The Constitution of New York State, as amended in 1894, instructs the Legislature to provide for a system of free common schools wherein all children of the State may be educated.

The State Legislature has implemented this constitutional mandate through the creation of school districts of various types. The Clarence Central School District is governed by the laws set forth for Central School Districts in Education Law Article 37, and by laws relating to, or affecting, Union Free School Districts as set forth in Education Law Article 35 and Common School Districts as set forth in Education Law Article 33.

The School District constitutes a corporate entity that possesses all the usual powers of a corporation for public purposes, and in that name may sue and be sued, purchase, hold and sell personal property and real estate, and enter into such obligations as are authorized by law.

The Constitution of the State of New York places the responsibility for public education on the State Legislature, and directs the establishment of a State Department of Education for general supervision over the schools and headed by a Commissioner of Education. The New York State Constitution further provides that local public schools under the general supervision of the State Education Department will be maintained, developed and operated by locally elected boards. Legally, local boards are instruments of the New York State Constitution, the New York Statutes and the regulations of the State Education Department and its Commissioner. Board of Education Authority

As a body created under the Education Law of New York State, the Board of Education of the Clarence Central School District has full authority, within the limitations of federal and state laws and the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education and interpretations of them, to carry out the will of the people of its District in matters of education.

In all cases where laws or regulations of the State Commissioner of Education do not provide, permit, or prohibit, the Board will consider itself the agent responsible for establishing and appraising educational matters and activities.

Board members have no authority over school affairs as individuals. They have authority only when acting as a body duly called in session. Education Law §§ 2, 1501, 1604, 1701, 1709, 1804, 2502, and 2503 Adopted:

SUBJECT: RESIGNATION AND DISMISSAL

Board members may resign at a District meeting of residents (i.e., the annual meeting, not a regular Board meeting) or by filing a written resignation with the District Superintendent of the Supervisory District who must endorse his or her approval and file the resignation with the District Clerk. Alternatively, a Board member may resign under Public Officers Law Section 31 by filing a written resignation with the District Clerk. The Clerk must then notify the Board and the State Board of Elections. A resignation may be withdrawn only with the consent of the person to whom the resignation was delivered (i.e., the District Clerk or BOCES District Superintendent). The Board has no authority to act upon a request to withdraw a resignation.

The resignation will take effect upon the date specified in the letter of resignation; however, if no effective date is specified, it will take effect on the date of delivery to or filing with the District Clerk. If an effective date is specified in the letter of resignation, the date must not be more than thirty (30) days subsequent to the date of its delivery or filing.

It will be the duty of each member of the Board to attend all meetings of the Board and, if any member refuses to attend three (3) consecutive meetings of the Board after having been regularly notified and a satisfactory cause for each non-attendance is not shown, the Board will proceed to declare that office vacant.

A Board member may be removed from office by the Commissioner of Education for willful violation of any provision of law, neglect of duty, or willfully disobeying any decision, order or regulation of the Commissioner. The Board may also remove a Board member for misconduct relating to the exercise of authority as a Board member. A written copy of all charges made of such misconduct must be served upon the Board member at least ten (10) days before the time designated for a hearing on the charges; and the Board member will be allowed a full and fair opportunity to refute such charges before removal. In the event of death, resignation, removal from office or from the District, or refusal to serve as a Board member, the District has the power and duty to fill the vacancy. If the Board chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment, the appointment requires a majority vote of the full Board and will be only for a term ending with the next annual election of the District at which time such vacancy will be filled in a regular manner for the balance of the unexpired term. The Board, at its own option, may instead call a special election within ninety (90) days to fill the unexpired term. If not filled by Board appointment or special election, the District Superintendent of the Supervisory District may appoint a competent person to fill the vacancy until the next annual election. Alternatively, the Commissioner of Education may order a special election for filling a vacancy. When a special election is ordered, the vacancy will not be otherwise filled.

SUBJECT: POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS

The Board of Education will reserve to itself the function of providing guides for the discretionary action of those to whom it delegates authority. The Superintendent will act as an advisor to the Board in the adoption and approval of written Board policies. The Board will seek input from the staff and community where appropriate. These guides for discretionary action will constitute the policies governing the operation of the School System.

The formulation and adoption of these written policies will constitute the basic method by which the Board will exercise its leadership in the operation of the School System. The study and evaluation of reports concerning the execution of its written policies will constitute the basic method by which the Board will exercise its control over the operation of the School System.

The adoption of a written policy will occur only after the proposal has been moved, discussed and voted on affirmatively at two (2) separate meetings of the Board (i.e., the "first reading" and the "second reading"). The policy draft may be amended at the second meeting. By a majority vote, the Board may waive the "second reading" and complete the adoption of the proposed policy at its "first reading."

Board action is also necessary for revising policies that require amendment or rescinding policies

that are no longer relevant or applicable to the District.

The formal adoption of written Board policy will be recorded in the official minutes of the Board. Such written Board policy will govern the conduct and affairs of the District and will be binding upon the members of the educational community in the District.

It will be the Board's responsibility to keep its written policies up-to-date so that they may be used consistently as a basis for Board action and administrative decision.
