The District Board guidelines have been prepared to help Extension agents, County Extension Councils, and Extension District Boards be more knowledgeable of procedures and more accountable for the funds for which they are responsible. We recognize the wide range of experiences represented among those who will use this handbook. To accommodate these differences, the attempt is to relate the guidelines to Kentucky Revised Statutes, Policies of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, and the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service Council System handbook. Further study of these references is recommended.


THIS MANUAL EXPLAINS THE COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.  SOME OF THESE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ARE GENERAL SUMMARIES OF OTHER UK POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.  IN CASE OF ANY CONFLICT OR ANY DIFFERENCE IN INTERPRETATION BETWEEN THIS MANUAL AND GOVERNING REGULATIONS, ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS, THE HUMAN RESOURCES POLICY AND PROCEDURE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS (FORMERLY KNOWN AS STAFF PERSONNEL POLICY AND PROCEDURE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS) AND CONTRACTS, THE LATTER ARE THE CORRECT AND FINAL AUTHORITY.
