District Policies

Policies are statements adopted by the school board that set forth the purposes and prescribe in general terms the organization and program of a school system. They create a framework within which the superintendent and their staff can discharge their assigned duties with positive direction. They tell what is wanted. District Policy Manual

Administrative Regulations

Administrative regulations are detailed directions developed by the superintendent to put policy into practice. They tell how, by whom, where, and when things are to be done. 

  • The District is currently working to update and co-locate Administrative Regulations within the Policy Manual.

    These Administrative Regulations implement board policies and federal, state or local laws or rules or represent an organizational directive from the Superintendent. The purpose of the regulations is to provide clear guidance to district staff, students, and public in the interest of more effectively serving students and their families.

    The regulations are in effect as of the date of publication on the district’s website and supersede any previous manual, representation, or description about District regulations and expectations. Amendments require the approval of the Superintendent.

    These rules are organized by Eugene School Board Policy categories, as follows:

    *Since collective bargaining in Oregon is governed by statute there are normally no policies in Section H.

    The interpretation, scope and applicability of these regulations are within the District’s exclusive discretion. Some of the provisions are lay summaries of statutes and regulations. Where necessary to apply or interpret these rules, the District interpretation will be determined by reference to the underlying statute, regulation, or legal document.

    Please note: The District recognizes its obligation under law to negotiate in good faith with labor organizations representing some District employees. If the information in this manual conflicts with any District bargaining agreement, the bargaining contract takes precedence.

Student Rights & Responsibilities 

The Student Rights & Responsibilities Handbook addresses certain rights and responsibilities of students and expectations for student conduct necessary to maintain a climate of respect and safety. The handbook represents a set of guidelines; it does not describe all behaviors or detail the many steps schools take to assist students in making good decisions.
