JJ - FORMATION OF NEW PROGRAMS
The Board of School Directors recognizes that for many students an innovative program of co-curricular and athletic activities is a key element of a comprehensive educational program. In order to provide academic and fiscal accountability in the offering of programs, any new co-curricular and/or athletic program must be presented to the Board of School Directors for authorization. In accordance with this policy, the programs proposal rubric shall be completed to provide adequate information for the Board to make accountable decisions on new programs. This rubric shall be completed in full and returned to the Superintendent for review prior to forwarding the proposal to the Board of Directors for review. A summary of the proposal, including key findings from the rubric and relevant supporting documents, shall be included as an attachment to the Board agenda. When appropriate, the full proposal package shall also be provided to ensure the Board receives sufficient detail prior to taking action. Activities related to the proposed program may not begin until the Board has granted authorization.
