Difference between 'Policy' & 'Procedure'

Knox County Board of Education sets board policy. How that policy is implemented is determined by the district administration by adopting and/or changing procedures to implement school board policy. Procedures do not require a vote of the Board, but reflect the intent of the Board's policy.
