Mandatory Policy Review

***HR will communicate when the policy review opens & closes for various staff at the beginning of a school year. 

Employees are required by state to annually review selected District and Board policies. Our policies provide our employees with important information regarding Shakopee Public Schools and guidelines for employment. The annual policy review only covers a few selected policies, if you would like to review all of the District and Board policies they are conveniently posted for all employees and the public to review online at: https://www.shakopee.k12.mn.us/Page/3399 . These policies are not intended to be all-inclusive and may change so we encourage you to periodically visit this website to review.

This task can take up to an hour to complete dependent upon your familiarity with these policies.  

Select Annual Policy Review
