Divisional Policies, Procedural By-Laws, and Committees Terms of Reference

The Louis Riel School Division follows the policy development codification and dissemination system of the National School Boards Association known as the National Education Policy Network (NEPN) system.

This system is contained in 12 sections, as follows:

Section A: Foundations and Basic Commitments

Section B: School Board Governance and Operations

Section C: General School Administration

Section D: Fiscal Management

Section E: Support Services

Section F: Facilities Planning and Development

Section G: Personnel

Section H: Negotiations

Section I: Instruction

Section J: Students

Section K: School-Community-Home Relations

Section L: Education Agency Relations

Each section has its own family of subcategories - codes that are accompanied by descriptor terms that provide suggested titles for policy statements. The NEPN classification system provides a comprehensive list of policy codes, but its letter coding can be easily customized when a division needs more detailed codes in any specific area. Supported by The National School Board Association, a not-for-profit federation of state associations of school boards across the United States, the system is commonly utilized by school boards throughout Canada.
