Rules and Regulations
In order for rules and regulations to be in place and enforced,
policies are created, often by the local school board. Having these
policies in place means there are determined procedures for how
school operations are handled, down to every minute detail, so
that educators, staff and students know what is expected and can
act accordingly. This saves time, prevents confusion and unifies the
school.
Following elements can be helpful in making rules and regulations:-

(b) Setting Goals and Establishing Productivity
In order for an institution to encourage higher learning, policies
must be in place that establish goals as set forth by the school
board. These policies establish standards and help hold schools and
educators accountable to the public.
> This is important for relating education to the community and
making it responsible to the larger world.
> Accountability through the use of goal-oriented policies ensures
that students are receiving a valuable education.
> Policies help a school to establish rules and procedures and
create standards of quality for learning and safety, as well as
expectations and accountability.
> Without these, schools would lack the structure and function
necessary to provide the educational needs of students.
Ultimately, policies are necessary to the success and safety of a
school. B. Ed 2"4 Semester
