South Texas College Board Policy Manual
- Local Policies are unique and consistent with College practices and are adopted by the Board reflecting the board’s decisions outlining local board mandates regarding governing issues. Local Policies incorporate provisions in accordance with the College mission, vision, and Board of Trustee's decisions. Local policies are identified by the designation (LOCAL) directly below the alphabetical code in the upper right corner of each page and next to the code in the lower-left corner.
- Legal Frameworks are not board adopted, but are intended to be read in conjunction with Local policies. The legal framework summarize the law on a topic and contain citations to the statutes, rules, and case law. The legal framework has the designation (LEGAL) in the upper right corner of each page directly below the alphabetical code and repeated in the lower-left corner
The separation of the legal framework and local policies serves to distinguish between the requirements of an extensive body of law and the policy determinations of the Board.
