District policies are created by the Board of Education to provide guidance and direction on school matters. Many policies are required by law or developed as local policies by the Board. A Policy Review Committee reviews policies periodically to ensure they are current. The Board then adopts the final policies at official Board meetings.
Please contact District Clerk Brenda Leitt at bleitt@schalmont.net or 518-335-9220 ext. 4004 with any questions.
