School Board Policies
The policies of The School Board of Orange County, Florida are based, in part, upon the codification and dissemination system known as the National Education Policy Network (“NEPN”) policy classification system established by the National School Boards Association. This system provides a means of organizing, coding, filing, and finding policies based on overall classifications and sub-categories. There are twelve (12) major classifications, each assigned an alphabetical code. Each classification has its own family of categories – codes that are accompanied by descriptor terms and suggested titles for policies.
