Note: This policy replaced retired Board Policy 375, which was last reviewed January 8, 2025. The language from the former three-digit policy was adopted without change for this new four-digit policy number.

Board Policies are adopted by the ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ Board of Education and establish the College’s governing principles and institutional direction. These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
