 All
policies are published in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (PDF) and
clicking on the hyperlinks below will deploy Microsoft Word (or similar
word processing program that reads .doc files) or Adobe Acrobat Reader
automatically in a suitably equipped web browser. Board policies are
continuously reviewed and updated. Also, we are currently in the
process of changing all policy documents from Adobe Acrobat Reader
(.pdf) format to Microsoft Word (.doc) to reduce the amount of time it
takes to update and revise the policy documents which, as we mentioned,
is an ongoing process. We apologize for any inconvenience this may
represent.
If you have
difficulty downloading or reading the files, contact Joni Lucas, Board Secretary.
