Policies adopted by The District Board of Trustees are subject to regular and continuous review for mission and strategy relevance, compliance, clarity, and effectiveness. The President or designee shall adopt, amend, and/or propose repeal, as necessary, due to changes in law or other circumstances.

Palm Beach State College shall inform the public of proposed new policies, revisions to existing policies, or the elimination of policies in accordance with procedures established by Section 120.54, Florida Statutes, as amended.

After publication of proposed new policies, revisions to, or elimination of existing policies, an individual may request, within twenty-one (21) days of publication, to present evidence and argument on all issues under consideration.

Proceedings, adoption of, revisions to, and elimination of existing policies shall be in accordance with procedures established by Section 120.54, Florida Statutes.

The District Board of Trustees authorizes the President or designee(s) to periodically adopt routine changes to Board policies (Minor Amendments). Minor Amendments are editorial changes that do not otherwise affect the policy content or substance, such as for the purpose of reflecting changes in various types of policy provisions, including without limitation organizational structure, position or office titles, dates, information technology-based systems, contact names and information, references to laws, rules or policies, renumbering/reorganization of policies; and to correct grammar, punctuation, or clerical errors; or to conform to other Board policies in any other nonsubstantive ways. Such Minor Amendments may be made to Board policy at any time during the life cycle of a policy, shall properly reflect the intent of the existing Board policy, and may be adopted without further Board consideration, action, or notice.

All approved Board policies will be posted on the College’s District Board of Trustees Policy Webpage.
