Introduction
This manual has been codified into eleven major categories of school operations. The Pendleton County Board of Education has adopted these policies and procedures, which are intended to guide the County administrators, professional and service personnel in the conduct of their contracted responsibilities. It is expected that all employees will be regularly oriented to Board policies and procedures by unit administrators, supervisors and directors.

These policies and procedures shall also be an informative resource for the students and citizens of Pendleton County who seek specific information about their school system.

This document is updated annually and the current edition shall always be viewed as abrogating and superseding the original document and all previous revisions.

Employees, citizens and students may view this Manual as the foundation for the administration of all facets of the County School System. It should not be viewed as a completed document since the development of policy and the accompanying procedures is a continuous process. As changes in state laws, State Board Policies, and court decisions occur, policy manual holders and users will receive additions or corrections as appropriate.


No part of this web site, including any chapter or portion of any chapter of the Policy Manual, may be electronically reproduced without express written permission from the Pendleton County Board of Education.
