§ 33031 School Governance Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •The board makes rules for how schools should run, but not for big universities like the University of California.
  • •These rules are for elementary, high schools, and technical schools that get money from the state.
  • •The board also makes rules for its own workers and how they do their jobs.
  • •Once the rules are made, they have to be printed and shared with people as soon as possible.

Example

A high school wants to change its schedule for classes.

The school has to follow the rules set by the board because it gets money from the state. The board’s rules will say how and when they can change the schedule.
