Administration (BP 2000)
The Governing Board recognizes that district administration performs essential roles and functions in support of student learning, including the provision of instructional support and services to schools as well as the responsible management of district resources and personnel.

The Board expects district administration to provide leadership in developing and implementing the district's vision and goals for the educational program and in evaluating and reporting on the district's progress toward that vision. District administration is expected to help shape the culture and environment of the district in a manner that instills confidence in district schools, encourages positive relationships with the community, and focuses district operations on enhancing student achievement.

Business and Non-Instructional Operations (BP 3000)

The Governing Board recognizes that prudent financial decisions are crucial to the district's ability to provide a high-quality education for students.  It is therefore essential that the Board establish reliable budget development processes and adopt a responsible budget with spending priorities which reflect the district's vision and goals.  When needed, the Board shall advocate and seek community, state or federal support for additional financing.

Personnel (BP 4000)

Students (BP 5000)

The Maricopa Unified School District Board of Education shall make every effort to maintain a safe, positive school environment and student services that promote student welfare and academic achievement.  The Board expects students to make good use of learning opportunities by demonstrating regular attendance, appropriate conduct, and respect for others.

The Board is fully committed to providing equal educational opportunities and keeping the schools free from discriminatory practices.  The Board shall not tolerate the intimidation or harassment of any student for any reason.

The Superintendent or designee shall establish and keep parents/ guardians and students well informed about school and district rules and regulations related to attendance, health examinations, records, grades and student conduct.  When conducting hearings related to discipline, attendance and other student matters, the Board shall afford students their due process rights in accordance with law.

Instruction (BP 6000)

The Maricopa Unified School District Board of Education desires to provide a rich, research-based curriculum that motivates every student to succeed.  The Board shall adopt instructional goals and objectives, which reflect the District's philosophy and delineate the skills, knowledge and abilities students will need in order to lead successful, productive lives.
