Community College Policy Reference Manual
The TASB Community College Policy Reference Manual (CCPRM) provides the legal framework for key areas of college operations.
The Community College Policy Reference Manual (CCPRM) provides the legal framework for key areas of college operations. The policy reference manual is divided into the following sections:
- Basic District Foundations
- Local Governance
- Business and Support Services
- Personnel
- Instruction
- Students
- Community and Governmental Relations
The CCPRM includes legal policies that reference relevant law and contain citations to the statutes, rules, and case law governing a particular topic. TASB Community College Services continually monitors changes in the legal landscape and prepares numbered updates (e.g., Update 46) with new or revised legal policies that cite current legal requirements. The CCPRM serves as a reference document only and does not substitute for a locally developed policy manual and is not adopted by the board.
To access the manual, a community college’s board of trustees must be a TASB member and the college must subscribe to this service. Colleges may designate up to 10 individuals to receive a TASB login with access to the CCPRM published in Policy Online.
The Guide to Policy Management for CCPRM Subscribers (pdf) provides an introduction to policy basics, including updates to TASB’s CCPRM. This guide is written for colleges that subscribe to the CCPRM only and do not use TASB to maintain the college’s local policy manual.
