Board of Education of Harford County
Board Policy Manual
The Board Policy Manual for the Board of Education of Harford County sets forth
the existing policies for the school system.
In Spring 2002, the Board of Education established procedures for development and
review of its policies. Included in these procedures was direction to the Superintendent
to make the policies available to the public in an electronic format. Accordingly,
upon approval of the Board of Education, each policy section was placed in this
web site.
In 2006, the Board took action to reorganize the policies in a format that is more
web friendly for improved readability. The Policies are now codified in these policy
manual sections: Students, Instruction, School Management, Safety and Security,
Stakeholders, Ethics, Personnel, Fiscal, Contracting and Procurement, District Management,
School System Governance, and Equity and Non-Discrimination.
It is the Board of Education's intent to make its policies more accessible through
these actions. Should you require information regarding a particular policy, you
