 One of the roles of the Oklahoma City Public Schools Board of Education is to set policy for the school district. These policies govern everything from student enrollment to selling property to libraries. The district used to have a maze of policies, some of which conflicted and others that were outdated. Central office staff recently revamped the organization of these policies, narrowing them from several hundred to several dozen. Now, the school board policy committee will comb through the remaining policies one at a time. The committee is made up of District 4 Board Member Paula Lewis, OKCPS General Counsel Brandon Carey, and myself. It might not be glamorous work, but it's important. Our overarching goal is to clarify and consolidate. Policies should be easy to understand for families, staff, and the community. These are the policies were are tackling first: If you have input about any policy, please contact me: carrie.okcps@gmail.com.
