Board of Education and School District Policies
By Pannier, Sherri
The Peru Elementary School District 124 Board of Education Policy Manual has recently been converted to an electronic format so that any policy can be accessed by anyone at anytime. The following links provide access to the full Policy Manual. If any policy is in the process of being updated, this will be indicated until the final policy is approved by the Board. For more information, please contact Superintendent Mark Cross at (815) 223-0486.
The Student Handbooks for each building are posted at the respective school's website. Northview and Washington Schools (grades PreK - 4) utilize the same handbook.
