Directives should be reviewed at minimum every ____ ____ to consider cancelling, updating, revising or consolidating, as appropriate.

• A. 36th and 38th
• B. 12th and 24th
• C. 6th and 12th
• D. 48th and 60th

Answer: (A)

Directives need a defined review cadence so you regularly re-evaluate whether each directive is still needed, current, and correctly scoped. The best option provides two scheduled points at which the directive should be reviewed to decide whether it should be cancelled, updated, revised, or consolidated. This approach keeps guidance up to date without imposing an excessive administrative burden, and it fits established HS practice for directive maintenance by encouraging timely updates and consolidation when overlaps exist.

Other cadences tend to push reviews either too often or too infrequently, which can waste time or allow outdated guidance to linger. The chosen schedule balances the need for current, accurate directives with practical workload considerations, helping maintain a clean, coherent set of policies.
