Leon County Schools Procedures

Last update: 12/20/2012

Administrative procedures for Leon County Schools are in the process of review, revision and conversion to a new numbering system and website (http://www.neola.com/leon-fl/). Procedures will share the same number as the policies to which they correspond. For example, Administrative Procedure 5830—Student Fund-Raising, corresponds to Policy 5830—Student Fund-Raising. Both policies and procedures are found at the website above. As administrative procedures on this web page are revised and approved by the Superintendent, they will be deleted and new ones posted to the website above. The process will be completed in 2013-2014.
