• The role of a Board of Education is to set policy and the role of the administration is to execute it. Policy is a foundational governing document. The basic definitions of policies and procedures approved by the Columbia Board of Education are available in the Board's policy manual. 

    Publishing the policy manual on the district's website facilitates online access to the board’s governing documents and provides transparency and keeps staff, students, parents, and the community informed about the board’s current policy directives.
