School Policies
Policies
Firestone Charter Academy policies provide governance for the operation of the school. FCA follows policies adopted by the St. Vrain Valley School District except as noted below in cases where: (a) policies are determined by the district to not be applicable to our school; and (b) policies for which our school has been granted a specific waiver or waivers. The rationale for a waiver is usually to address a specific charter school operation. All policies are reviewed and approved by the Firestone Charter Academy Governing Board.
