Proposals regarding policies may originate with a member of the  Board, the Superintendent, a staff member, a parent, student, civic group, or any resident of the district.  An orderly process shall be used in examining such proposals prior to action by the Board.  Recommendations of the Superintendent and the viewpoints of persons and groups affected by the policy shall precede final action of the Board.

It is the Board's intention that the written policies serve as guides for the discretionary action of those to whom it delegates authority and as a source of information and guidance for all persons who are interested in, and affected by, the Ocean Springs School District schools.

Changes in needs, conditions, purposes, and objectives will require revisions, deletions, and additions to the policies of the present and future Boards.  The Board welcomes suggestions for ongoing policy development.

The Mississippi Public School Accountability Standard for this policy is Standard 2.
