ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES

The Lafayette Parish School Board delegates to the Superintendent the function of specifying required actions and designing the detailed arrangements under which schools shall be operated.  These detailed arrangements shall constitute the administrative regulations and procedures governing the schools and shall be designed to implement effectively the policies of the School Board.  They shall be defined in written form and organized by subject or date with adequate indexing for easy use.  Formatting and distribution shall be so as to facilitate easy filing and proper use, and distribution shall include the members of the School Board.  The administrative regulations and procedures established by the Superintendent and staff shall not require School Board approval but shall in every respect be consistent with the policies of the School Board.

The School Board itself shall strive to formulate and adopt regulations only when specific state laws require School Board adoption.  But, the School Board may also do so when the Superintendent recommends School Board adoption in light of strong community attitudes or probable staff responses.

INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL REGULATIONS

Each principal is authorized and instructed to prepare and promulgate such regulations as he/she may deem necessary for the proper administration of his/her school and to require compliance by all students enrolled or teachers and other school employees assigned to his/her school, all in supplementation of, but not inconsistent with, the policies and regulations of the School Board, the Superintendent, the Louisiana Department of Education, or the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE).
