Policies

​​​Among the significant roles of a school board is the development of clear policies to guide the operation of the School District. The Superintendent of Schools, to whom the School Board assigns responsibility for the implementation of its policies, develops administrative regulations. In the North Vancouver School District, administrative regulations are written to accompany policies.
