0131.1 - BYLAWS AND POLICIES

The Board of Education shall adopt bylaws and policies for the organization and operation of this Board. Such policies are to include those needed to meet the education standards established by Wisconsin Statute.  In the event of any conflict between these bylaws and policies and any applicable law or regulation, including temporary emergency orders or mandates, the legal authority shall prevail.

Those bylaws and policies which are not dictated by the statutes or rules of the Department of Public Instruction or ordered by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction or a court of competent authority may be adopted, amended, and repealed at any meeting of the Board,

Bylaws and policies shall be adopted, amended, repealed, or suspended by a majority vote of the Board.

The Board may adopt, amend, or repeal rules of order for its own operation by simple resolution of the Board passed by a majority of those present and voting.

The adoption, modification, repeal, or suspension of a Board bylaw or policy shall be recorded in the minutes of the Board. All bylaws and policies shall be included in the Board policy manual.

Technical Corrections

The District Administrator is authorized to review and make technical corrections to policies that have already been adopted through normal rulemaking procedures. Technical corrections are those corrections to policy language or construction that do not reflect a policy decision or substantive consideration by the Board, such as correction of a typographical or grammatical error, inclusion or correction of a statutory citation, renumbering of sections, combining of policies, or similar actions. The District Administrator shall inform the Board of any such changes no later than the next regular Board meeting.
