HOW TO USE THE DIVISION HANDBOOK

The Loudoun County Public Schools’ Employee Handbook provides alphabe tized sections, as well as policy/regulation reference numbers, and a comprehensive index to help the user find information quickly. Organizationaland personnel information, found in the front of the document, are followed byalphabetized sections which outline important rules, regulations, policies, and benefits. Following are the administrative, classified, and teacher salaries for theyear. Policy and/or regulation reference numbers are shown where applicable.These numbers correspond to the specific location in the School Board PolicyManual where an in-depth account of the relevant policy is provided.

I am happy to introduce the twenty-fourth edition of ourLoudoun County Public Schools’ Employee Handbook. TheHandbook provides a quick reference for policies and regula-tions and an overview of the benefits available to us as full-time staff members.

Be sure to consult the School Board Policy Manual located in all school facility offices or visit us at our website atwww.lcps.org for the most detailed and up-to-date information on policies. If you have questions, please discuss them withyour immediate supervisor. The Department of PersonnelServices in the Administration Building (571-252-1100) is alsoavailable to provide assistance.

As members of the Loudoun County Public Schools’ EducationTeam, you and I are involved in some of the most importantwork there is to be done. Whether we are teachers, bus drivers,office staff, maintenance personnel, cafeteria workers, oradministrators, each of us plays a key role in helping to shapethe future of our young people, our county, and our nation.

We can be proud of the quality of our instructional program, our facilities, and, most of all, the achievements of our young-sters. I count on your continued efforts to help make ourschool system even better. I hope that you will let me hearyour suggestions about new ways in which we can worktogether to improve Loudoun County Public Schools.
