School Policy

A school policy is a formal guideline or rule established by an educational institution to govern its operations, decision-making, and procedures. These policies are designed to ensure a safe, equitable, and effective learning environment for students and staff. School policies can cover a wide range of topics, including attendance, discipline, bullying prevention, health and safety, academic integrity, and student rights and responsibilities. They serve to provide clear expectations for behavior and practices within the school community and help in the management of various situations that may arise. Policies are typically created through a collaborative process involving administrators, teachers, parents, and sometimes students, and are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changing needs and regulations.
