Board Policies Preamble
These pages contain the policies of the Board of Education, the major regulations intended to implement policy, and certain reference or “exhibit” documents that relate to policies and/or regulations. The official copy of the Board Policy Manual is maintained at the Central Administration Office. The policies and regulations are organized according to the classification system developed by the National Education Policy Network (NEPN) and National School Boards Association (NSBA). The system provides an efficient means of coding and finding policies and regulations.
Our mission is to provide the learning opportunities and instruction necessary to produce educated productive citizens, knowledgeable about our government, our history, and academically prepared to contribute to our community, nation and world.
The BOCES' greatest assets are dedicated teachers and supportive families. The BOCES acknowledges the primacy of the family as the fundamental authority in the lives of its children.
Education ReEnvisioned BOCECS is governed by the parents and patrons of the BOCES by electing 5 citizen directors, who hire three chief officers (Chief Business Officer, Chief Education Officer, and Chief Operations Officer) to carry out their directives.
Each director before taking office, has promised to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, and the Constitution of the State of Colorado. We place, in part, the words of our state constitution at the head of our board policies, because from it originates the authority of the citizens who serve as directors of Education ReEnvisioned BOCES.Constitution of the State of Colorado – Section 15.
