One page, every policy, nothing buried in an inbox.
River Tech School is a ministry of Faithful Five Inc., an Idaho nonprofit corporation. The policies that shape how the school admits, teaches, and cares for students belong to families as much as to staff, so we publish them here rather than keeping them in a filing cabinet.
Each policy appears in full, in the wording that governs. Where a policy carries a public notice, that notice is reproduced word for word and is never edited or summarised.

How policies are made
Written once, approved openly, reviewed on a clock.
Policy at River Tech is not improvised. Each policy is drafted, reviewed, and approved by the authority named in the policy itself, and each one carries a responsible officer who has to make it true in practice rather than merely on paper.
Who approves what
Why we publish them
A policy that a family cannot read is not a policy, it is a private preference. Publishing the full text means a parent can hold the school to its own words, and it means the school has to mean them. That is the point of this page.
Raising a concern
Concerns about a policy, or about how a policy has been applied, go to the Head of School. Where a concern involves the Head of School, it goes to the Board Chair of Faithful Five Inc. Nobody is retaliated against for raising one.
Write to learn@rivertech.me and it will be routed to the right person.

Scope

Religious mission and admissions
