INTRODUCTION
The purpose of these Rules and R egulations is to
e s ta b lis h clear lin e s of policy and function fo r the
Board of T ru stees, the D is tric t Superintendent and a ll
other school employees in the operation of the G oleta
Union School D is tric t. In order to have the most e f
fe c tiv e educational program p o ssib le, there must be,
f i r s t , an e ffe c tiv e organization of a ll members of the
s ta f f , and second, eaich s ta ff member must understand
and perform h is d u ties and re s p o n s ib ilitie s w ell. Lines
of au th o rity and re sp o n sib ility must be c le a rly defined
to have a s ta ff functioning to maximum e ffic ie n c y .
I t is hoped th a t these Rules and R egulations w ill
prove h elp fu l to new members of the Board o f T ru stees,
incoming teachers and other employees new to the d is
t r i c t , and w ill a s s is t in inform ing in te re ste d persons
regarding th e work and the p o lic ie s of th e Board. I t
is f e lt th a t these Rules and R egulations w ill give a ll
employees of the d is tr ic t a feelin g of se c u rity and under
stand in g, which should perm it each to ex cercise th e maxi
mum amount of in itia tiv e in his sp e cia l fie ld and s t i l l
be in harmony w ith the whole e ffo rt.
P e rtin e n t laws from the Education Code, S ta te of
Vi
C alifo rn ia have been included in these Buies and Regu
la tio n s , together w ith statem ents taken from ru les and
reg u latio n s from o th er school d is tr ic ts . Much of the
m a te ria l was derived from discussions of our own prob
lems in the school d is tr ic t w ith school board members
and school p atro n s. This method was most f r u itf u l.
A dditions and d eletio n s w ill n e c e ssa rily have to be
made as conditions w ith in th e d is tr ic t change, but i t
is f e lt th a t th ese Rules and R egulations are adequate
fo r th e p re se n t.
The Rules and R egulations s h a ll become e ffe c tiv e
im m ediately follow ing adoption by th e Board, and s h a ll
become p a rt of the M inutes of the m eeting of adoption.
Copies w ill be made av ailab le to a ll employees, to new
members subsequently appointed or elected to the Board,
and to other persons and patrons in te re ste d in the pro
gram o f the school d i s t r i c t .
