Policy, Procedure and Online Services
The KSBA Policy and Procedure Service is in its third decade serving Kentucky school boards and administrators.
Policy staff members work with board teams in maintaining/updating board policies and with superintendents in maintaining/updating administrative procedures and customized handbooks. Policies and administrative procedures can be provided electronically through our Online Manual Service.
KSBA’s eMeeting Service gives school boards secure 24/7 Internet access to meeting agenda and attachments and other web-based KSBA services. eMeeting enables district staff to build each board meeting agenda online, saving time and materials.
