District Policies
100 School District Philosophy
The Board continually seeks curriculum and staff improvement based on reliable
research, sound principles of child development and proven teaching practices.
The Board believes that it is the duty of the school organization to serve the
community by providing a comprehensive educational program, and it pledges that
each school will offer students the opportunity for maximum growth potential in
a climate of mutual trust and respect.
200 Board of Trustees
It is the policy of the Board of Trustees to distinguish between those
activities which are appropriate to the Board of Trustees as the legislative
governing body of the School District, and those administrative activities
which are to be performed by the Superintendent of Schools and district staff
in the exercise of delegated administrative authority. The function of the
Board can be described as policy-making, appraisal, and evaluation.
300 District Administration Organization
The Superintendent of Schools will be the executive officer of the Board of
Education and shall be directly responsible to it for the execution of its
policies, for the faithful and efficient observance of its rules by all
employees throughout the system, and for the enforcement of all provisions of
the law relating to the operation of the schools.
400 Certified Personnel
It is the goal of the Board of Trustees of the Blaine County School District to
provide each child enrolled in school with an educational program, which meets
the highest possible standards of excellence. The Board of Trustees fully
realizes that success in attaining that goal, in a large measure, is dependent
upon the collective competency of its professional staff and those persons who
serve in District supportive positions to the instructional programs of the
Blaine County School District.
423 Non-Certified Personnel
Non-certified personnel are in classified positions and are sometimes called
Classified personnel. Non-certified personnel are those people doing jobs
within the School District, which do not require an Idaho teaching certificate.
Examples are as follows: secretaries, paraprofessionals, lunch personnel, bus
drivers, custodians, assistant custodians, and non-skilled laborers.
500 Student Personnel
The student policies section includes rules concerning attendance, homework,
student health, activities, graduation, behavior and discipline, and grading.
600 Educational Program
The Board of Education believes that all children should have an equal
opportunity to be educated to the full extent of their abilities, aptitudes,
capabilities, and interests through a program that recognizes and provides for
the individual differences of all children of the School District.
700 Auxiliary Services
The Board of Education shall, as it deems necessary, make provisions for
auxiliary services that will enhance the opportunity for all children to take
full advantage of the educational program.
800 Buildings and Sites
School buildings and sites shall be acquired and maintained as required to
achieve the educational goals of the School District.
900 School-Community Relations
It is the policy of Blaine County School District No. 61 to communicate as
effectively and accurately as possible with the public in regard to school
related activities, functions, academic programs, and related programs in order
to promote a well-informed citizenry.
