We offer full customization of policies to ensure your school corporation meets required legal mandates and your local educational philosophy. We will also work with your school corporation to create policies on individual topics upon request. Manual Coding An effective policy manual should contain a table of contents for the manual, and each chapter, and an index of all policies adopted by the school board. When reviewing or customizing your policies, ISBA can also provide policy manual coding to create ease of access to and organization of policy topics.
