Oakville School District School Policies

School Policies

The Board of School Directors set District policies upon recommendation from the Superintendent.

Many policies have a set of procedures, which are approved by the Superintendent. Each policy and procedure is thoroughly reviewed by the appropriate staff before making any recommendations to the Superintendent or School Board. For further information, please contact the Superintendent's Office by telephone at 360-273-0171

Please Note: There is a delay between the time the board makes policy changes and the time those changes are available on this site. The policies on this site are for information only and do not reflect any updating activities in progress.
