This handbook is neither a contract nor a substitute for the official district policy manual.  Nor is it intended to alter the at-will status of non-contract employees in any way.  Rather, it is a guide to and a brief explanation of district policies.  District policies and procedures can change at any time; these changes shall supersede any handbook provisions that are not compatible with the change.  For more information, employees may refer to the policy codes that are associated with handbook topics, confer with their supervisor, or call the appropriate district office.  Policies are available online through the district website: http://www.irvingisd.net.  Click on “Board Policy Online” to go to our district policies.
