In this episode, Bob connects with Dr. Nick Lightfoot, assistant superintendent at Hopkins School District, who discusses his experience with policy development and monitoring for school districts. He shares examples of how policies are created and communicated with the community, and discusses the role of state statute, collective bargaining agreements, and school board governance in shaping policies. He also shares examples of internal and external challenges with policies as well as where to begin, resources to use, and mechanisms for tracking, monitoring, and updating policies and procedures.
