Web Hosting Service

School board members and school personnel responsible for implementing school board policies need to have quick, easy access to the most up-to-date version of their policies. NCSBA, with the help of MicroScribe Publishing, has found a way to make this happen. NCSBA will put your local board policy manual on the Internet using Folio® Infobase, a powerful electronic publishing tool.

With The Web Hosting Service, local boards can:

  • Distribute the board policy manual to employees, administrators and the general public in a user-friendly medium;
  • Quickly update the manual after a board meeting, with unlimited revisions during the subscription year;
  • Reduce the secretarial workload and paper costs for board policies;
  • Reduce potential liability associated with using inaccurate, outdated manuals; and
  • Search the policy manuals of other school systems hosted through NCSBA.

With The Web Hosting Service, policy manual users can:

  • Easily locate and print school board policies;
  • Search the entire manual for terms or phrases on a particular topic and "jump" to such terms in all relevant policies;
  • "Jump" to legal references for a particular policy;
  • Copy sections of the manual; and
  • View the entire board manual from any computer with Internet access.

Pricing Information

  • Initial Development Fee: $1,000 (plus additional fees if the manual is not in an electronic format)
  • Annual Web Hosting Fee: $2,950 (This includes unlimited uploads to the policy manual each year to accommodate your changes.  The Annual Web Hosting Fee will be prorated for the year of initial development.)
