NOTE: Please use the following template for policy and guideline creation. Policies are generally firm statements of what must happen in a given circumstance. They require a board vote to be overridden. Guidelines on the other hand reflect more general norms and expectations. A board vote is required before the wording of any policy or guideline is changed.
