About Board Governing Policies
Governing policies express the school board’s values, their expectations about the way the school district will be run, and the end results they want district staff to work to achieve. The board is able to lead, direct, inspire, and control the outcomes and operations of the district through carefully crafting this set of policy statements and effectively monitoring them.
Governing Policies provide a logical process for the Ferndale School Board to govern effectively. The board is committed to using them to:
- Eliminate confusion between board and superintendent roles;
- Focus on student outcomes and achievement results;
- Free the superintendent and staff to do their jobs without the board's intrusion into day-to-day management decisions; and
- Achieve control over operational decisions in a manner that maintains the board’s authority at the governance level.
Any questions regarding policies, please contact the Superintendent office (360)383.9207.
