ERATS Board Policies


The Board is continually reviewing district policies and updating their content based on the most current legislative and legal information.

Once the ERATS School Board has approved the most current version of a policy, it will be linked here as a .pdf file or Google Doc.  If you would like more information about a policy that is not linked yet or you cannot find, please email our Board policy contact Emily Falgier.  

Some of our school rules and guidelines are not in official policy format, so please read the Parent/Student Handbook for further information.
