How the Policy Manual is Organized
The Board of Education for Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools sets goals for the School District through the creation of policies that reflect the Board’s vision and values. District staff use these policies to guide how they carry out their work via administrative procedures.
Each section of the Policy Manual covers a group of interrelated policies.
Nested under some of those policies are related administrative procedures (APs).
Administrative procedures take the first three digits of the policy they are located under followed by a decimal and “AP”.
