Model Policy and Analysis
To support a student-focused approach, KSBRC offers a library of model policies, policy analysis, and comprehensive policy reviews to help school boards ensure district policies are both current with the latest legislative requirements and aligned with efforts to improve student academic outcomes. The KSBRC policy library is not intended to be an exhaustive collection on every topic; rather, it is designed to evolve and expand to meet the immediate and practical policy needs of Kansas school districts.
Policy Review
If you don’t find a policy you need here, please let us know. Our Policy Review Service (info@ksbrc.org) includes collaborating with you to write a policy that will meet your specific policy needs. We also offer a full analysis of your district’s policy manual to ensure alignment with state statutes and work closely with your district to incorporate policies that reflect your district's values, expectations, and support student academic growth.
