NARRATIVE
GBEB - Communicable Diseases - Staff JHCC - Communicable Diseases - Students Recent events in our communities prompted revisions to rules prescribed by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) affecting school attendance by staff and students to protect public health. As a result, OHA added COVID-19 to the restrictable disease list and established criteria for returning staff and students to school, in addition to other revisions made to existing rules including changes in definitions and other parts of previous rules. Please continue to follow the guidance as it is reported by OHA and the Oregon Department of Education in connection with these recommended changes.

GBN/JBA - Sexual Harrasment - Staff JBA/GBN - Sexual Harassment - Students The updates issued for policy and administrative regulations for sexual harassment result from release of revised Federal regulations for Title IX protections and the release of updates to Oregon Administrative Rules revised to reflect new Oregon statute adopted in the 2019 Legislative session amending Oregon’s sexual harassment definition and its policy and procedures requirements. Members will need to consider the urgency of adoption of these new recommended revisions to update procedures for complaints and investigations of sexual harassment reports or complaints for the coming school year. In compliance with these new recommended policies and administrative regulations, members need to consider which definition of sexual harassment a reported incident or complaint may align with and follow recommended procedure and whether the reported incident or complaint may need to be investigated and processed under both State and Federal law established procedures.

5.2. Decision Regarding State Liability Immunity and KFCS In-Person Learning
Presenter:
Dr. Paul Hillyer, Superintendent
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Description:
NARRATIVE
BACKGROUND
The state has not granted school districts liability immunity for COVID 19-related lawsuits. Our liability insurer, PACE, will not cover districts for COVID-19 legal damages and gives only limited support of court costs related to COVID-related cases. Therefore, the district has been hesitant to allow in-person learning in schools. At the September board meeting the board agreed to allow in-person learning until a special session of the legislature addresses the liability issue. This special session has not taken place. Therefore, the board may want to continue to allow in-person learning until the legislature addresses the issue at some point or withdraw their qualified permission since it may be a great deal of time before the legislature addresses the issue.
