Policies & Procedures

This manual contains the official policies of the Dedham School Committee; the major regulations intended to implement policy; and certain reference or "exhibit" documents that relate to policies and/or regulations.  Policy development in a modern, forward-looking school system is a dynamic, ongoing process.  New problems, issues, and needs give rise to the continuing need to develop new policies or to revise existing ones.
