This chart describes some of the notices required by federal law and provides links to documents that may be used in writing such notices.
- 2016 Policies Required by Federal Law
This chart lists federal laws and regulations that require a policy, written procedure or form. School districts may need to adopt additional policies that are not included in this chart but are required by state law. Please contact your policy services provider for additional information on these state-specific requirements.
- Key Federal Agency Guidance 2008-2016
This document provides summaries of the key federal agency guidance that affects public K-12 school districts. Recent additions include guidance on:- Foster Youth
