The MSH is not meant to replace your school’s handbook
It is a tool to assist in making sure that your school’s handbook is up-to-date and legally compliant. The MSH can be best used as follows:
- To search for new handbook procedures that your school needs.
- To compare your existing handbook procedures with model handbook procedures.
- To update your handbook for the next school year.
- To make sure your handbook has all procedures required by law that change often.
Additional services offered by the Online Model Student Handbook
- A frequently updated listing of handbook revisions made necessary by new state and federal laws and court cases.
- A comprehensive checklist of notices that schools and districts are required to provide to students and parents.
- Need a handbook procedure that is not listed? We will be happy to assist you with developing your own custom policies.
