   2. Each procedure is consistent with Board Policy;
   3. Each procedure is consistent with other Administrative Procedures;
   4. Each procedure is consistent with the District’s strategic direction as outlined in the Strategic Plan; and
   5. Each procedure ensures clear and consistent direction for the District.
4. A request by the Board or any stakeholder for the review or development of a specific administrative procedure may be made to the Superintendent at any time.
