ST. LOUIS BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY The Board of Education assumes responsibility for providing the most effective arrangements of teaching-learning situations that may assure the best possible student progress.

The board strongly supports the use of a variety of ways of evaluation. While the primary purpose for such evaluative methods is to assess the relationship between student achievement and the board's goals, the board recognizes that other potentially valuable information may be obtained, including but not limited to the following: The suitability of a school’s instructional program for the community. To provide data for advanced planning. To better understand the relationship between administrative regulations and school needs.
