Schools directed not to have local procedures

Schools have been directed not to create additional local instructions and procedures where Department of Education policies exist, according to Woy Woy Public School relieving principal Mr Dan Betts

He said the NSW Department of Education had released a batch of updated policy documents, "all of which have been reviewed to make them easier to read, understand, and interpret".

Additions were not to be created "since the policies are readily available in the Department's Policy Library".

The policies include: Aboriginal education; commercial arrangements, sponsorship and donations; inclusive education for students with disability; school attendance; selective high school and opportunity class placement; sharing of school facilities and technology in schools.

"The department has advised that the next batch of updated policies will be released in Term Two."
