Board Policy is the voice of the board of trustees and defines the general goals and acceptable practices for the operations of the district.  It implements federal and state statutes and regulations.  The board, through policy, delegates authority to and through the chief executive to administer the district.  The CEO and district employees are responsible to reasonably interpret board policy as well as other relevant statutes and regulations that govern the district.  Policy is best expressed in broad statements.  It legally binds the district.  Therefore, policy statements should be clear, succinct, and current. 

Administrative procedures implement board policy, statutes, and regulations.  They address how the general goals of the district are achieved and define the operations of the district.  They include details of policy implementation, responsibility, accountability and standards of practice.  They are developed and implemented by the CEO, administration, faculty, and staff members; they are not intended to require board action.

Board policies and administrative procedures are undergoing review and updating while SRJC transitions to the CCLC service.
