Field Guide to WI School Policy
Every school district has a policy manual.
It’s an incredibly powerful document! It dictates how students are treated and what they learn.
How do your school district’s policies work?
Which policies are legally required? Which are adaptable?
How are policies made? How can policies be changed?
This field guide is here to empower you to use, question, challenge and improve policies in your school district.
It’s all about democracy… community… and KIDS!
