Policy Governance
In 2005, the Board conducted extensive research before adopting a specific governance structure called Policy Governance. Four categories of Board policies create the structure, as described below:
1. Governance Process policies
These policies prescribe how the Board will operate and effectively work together.
2. Board/Superintendent Relations policies
These policies define how the Board and Superintendent effectively work together, as well as how the Superintendent is evaluated by the Board.
3. Ends policies
These policies prescribe the expected district outcomes in terms of student achievement.
4. Executive Responsibilities
These policies set the responsibilities of the Superintendent in the strategic leadership of the school district and the comprehensive day-to-day operations.
5. Policy Governance Calendar
This is the calendar that the board uses for working with the Superintendent to review the Policy Governance structure. As the Executive Responsibilities are approved by the School Board they are posted on the district website.

In addition to the Policy Governance structure the School Board reviews and adopts Board Policies which outline the operational structure of the school district and assure that the district meets all regulatory mandates established in Washington State and Federal law. School Board policies are organized under six categories: Directors, Instruction, Students, Community Relations, Personnel, and Management Support. See School Board Policies.
