 FOREWORD

KRS 160.290 requires that boards of education shall make and
adopt rules, regulations and bylaws for their meetings, for the govern-
ment, regulation and management of the public schools, for the quali-
fications and employment of teachers and for the conduct of pupils
under their jurisdiction.

The information contained in this bulletin provides ready refer-
ence to the many scattered sections of the law affecting the authority
and duties of boards of education. It makes suggestions for and gives
examples of regulations which will meet the needs of most boards of
education.

On request the Department will endeavor to make available the
services of members of its staff to superintendents and boards of edu-
cation who are planning to adopt or who are revising bylaws, rules

and regulations. If you have not brought to date the statute references
for your rules and regulations, I suggest that you do so at an early date
and after you have read this publication. It should then be placed in
your ready-reference file for any future need.

All policies and regulations of your board should be copied from
the minutes of the board and placed in a bound volume. This will
make it possible to have available, at once, an up-to-date record of
board action on one of the fundamentals of good school administration.

INTRODUCTION

The General Assembly of Kentucky has recognized the necessity
for boards of education to have authority to adapt the school laws to
the needs of the varying conditions which exist in the different school
districts of the Commonwealth. It has provided for meeting this need
by requiring that boards of education adopt policies, rules and regula-
tions for their meetings and proceedings, for the government, regula-
tion and management of the public schools under their jurisdiction and

for the performance of the duties of all persons employed in public
school service in the districts of their jurisdiction.

KRS 160.290 provides in (2), “Each board shall make and adopt, and
may amend or repeal rules, regualtions and bylaws for its meetings and
proceedings for the government, regulation and management of the public
schools and school property of the district, for the transaction of its busi-
ness, and for the qualification and employment of teachers and the conduct
of pupils. The rules, regulations, and bylaws heretofore made by any gov-
erning body of a school district, or hereafter made by a board of education,
shall be consistent with the general school laws of the state and shall be
binding on the board of education and parties dealing with it until amended
or repealed by an affirmative vote of three members of the board. The rules
and regulations and bylaws shall be spread on the mintucs of the board and

be open to the public.”
KRS 161.140 provides that, “Each board of education shall prescribe

the duties to be performed by all persons in public school service in the

district.”

In order to put into proper effect the intention of these sections of
law, it is necessary that boards of education formulate such policies,
rules and regulations, and bylaws as will assist them in making the
laws most effective for their community.

The purpose of the information contained herein is to furnish
school administrators and boards of education suggestions which will
be of assistance to them in making these policies, rules and regulations,
and bylaws suitable to the conditions under which they work. The
information presented is based upon policies, rules and regulations
which are now in operation in many parts of the state.

PART I. This part deals with the organization and administra-
tion of the public school system of Kentucky. It summarizes some of
the facts on dual control exercised by the State Department of Edu—
cation and the Local School District organization. It suggests some
of the outstanding principles of school administration and control. It
lists some suggested duties of the leaders in the school district Organi-
zations. These duties seem to be in accordance with the best proce-
dures in school administration and control.

PART II. This part lists some of the functions and services of
the State Departmetn of Education. It cites specific general control
and authority of the Department as required by Kentucky Revised
Statutes. These statutory requirements impliedly place the State De-
partment of Education in an executive position in carrying out its
functions and relationships to the local district organization. This
relationship serves as a check and balance between the rights of the
local school district organization and the functions and services of the
Department of Education as authorized by law.

PART III. This part deals with the legal authority and functions
of the local district organization. It suggests procedures for setting up
policies and regulations by boards of education. The purpose of such
rocedures is to guarantee the proper relationship between the local
school organization and the people of the district.

PART IV. There is given here detailed suggestions concerning
the legal authority of boards of education. It cites court decisions
which interpret the laws which are cited. It makes suggestions for
adopting policies and making rules and regulations for using such
policies as will help adapt the law to local school needs.

INFORMATION ON AND SUGGESTIONS FOR

POLICIES, RULES AND REGULATIONS
FOR BOARDS OF EDUCATION

I

ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE PUBLIC

SCHOOL SYSTEM IN KENTUCKY

A. Organization and Administration

1. Two administrative organizations

The public school system of the state is operated by two
school administrative organizations. The one is known as a
state school administrative organization and is made up of
the State Board of Education and the Superintendent of Public
Instruction which compose the State Department of Educa-
tion. The other is known as the district board of education.
Each school district is under the management and control of
such a board of education. These boards of education and
their administrative organizations get their authority from the
State Legislature.

. Administrative Procedures

The Superintendent of Public Instruction is head of the
State Department of Education, and the district superintendent
is executive agent of the district board of education. The State
Board of Education has full authority to set by law the stand-
ards and determine the organization of the public school
system and the agencies through which it will operate. These
laws set certain minimum standards and policies to be ob-
served, and they also clothe these boards and their adminis—
trative organization with authority to set further standards
consistent with the laws and to make rules and regulations for
carrying out the purposes of the law and regulation authorized
by such laws.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Dual control

 

 

 

  

The state laws divide control of the school system be-
tween the state school administrative organization and the
local school administrative organization. This division of re-
sponsibility may be illustrated by referring to laws governing
the teaching force of the state. These laws provide that cer-
tification of teachers shall be done by regulations of the State
Board of Education, while the placement of teachers and the
control of their services is a local responsibility and function.
Another example of this dual control may be seen in that the
State Department of Education is required by law to prescribe
a general course of study and to determine and prescribe the
areas of learning to be included in the offering for an educa-
tional program for the children. The local district organization
determines and adopts a curriculum and courses of study to
meet the local needs and interests of the people of the dis-
trict based upon the broad course prescribed by the state
school organization.

B. Some Principles of School Administration and Control

1. Principles

The principles of school administration and control stated
herein have been formulated by authorities in this field. They
have been put intop ractice by boards of education in the
better school systems. These principles are based upon the
belief that most efficient and satisfactory results can be ob-
tained:

a. By making the superintendent of schools the chief executive
officer of the board with broad powers;

b. By holding this person responsible for results in the or-
ganization and control of the schools under authority of
the board; and

c. With an understanding that proposed new policies are to
be initiated and presented to the board by the chief execu-
tive officer.

Based upon these principles, some suggested duties of the
board and the various officials who work in connection with
the superintendent and the board are stated herein.
