Policy Manual
The Chinook's Edge School Division Policy Committee is mandated by the Board of Education to review and revise the policies of the division to reflect the commitment the Board makes to our students and our communities. We also endeavor to provide guidelines for our staff in the important work of providing quality education for every child in our care. We are obligated to create and uphold our policies in concert with the statutes, legislation and regulations of the province of Alberta as they relate to public education. This Policy Manual is a meaningful tool for school board governance assisting not only the Board of Trustees of Chinook's Edge School Division, but also our leadership in the division office and our schools.
