Policies and Procedures
POLICY MANUAL INTRODUCTION
The Cedar Rapids Community School District’s Policy Manual contains the policies, regulations, and procedures of the District. On-going review of the manual occurs as new issues and needs arise that may give rise to developing new policies or to revising existing ones.
The Board of Directors of the District reviews and consider policies after careful deliberations. The District Administration implements the policies through specific regulations and procedures.
How to Use the Policy Manual
The Policy Manual is organized according to a numeric codification system. There are ten major classification bearing a numeric Series Code:

300 ADMINISTRATION
400 INSTRUCTION
500 STAFF
600 STUDENTS
700 FISCAL MANAGEMENT

Subclassifications under each numeric Series are based on a logical sequence and coded by the appropriate numeric code located in the upper right-hand corner of the document.
How to Find A Policy/Regulation/Procedure
There are two basic ways to find a policy manual document within the policy manual pdf file. The first is to review the Table of Contents and/or the ten identified Series and determine which section the document may be in. By turning to that Series, you can review the Index of the Series and determine whether the topic is identified. If the document is included, you can turn to the appropriate page by finding the correct code number.
The second way to find a policy document is to use the search icon located within the manual:
