II.B. Deletion of Board Policy 551 - Placement Units - Alternative Programs (ACTION)
Description:
Patty Popp, Executive Director of Student Services/Special Education, will present a recommendation to delete Board Policy 551 - Placement Units - Alternative Programs from the District's Policies and Procedures. Board Policy 551 was used to unilaterally assign students who are not on an IEP or 504 plan to alternative placements. Minnesota Statutes, Section 124D.128, subdivision 3, requires all state-approved alternative programs to inform all students and their parents that participation in such a program is optional. Because the policy is in conflict with current statute, it is recommended that it be disbanded. A copy of the policy is attached. Corresponding Administrative Procedures 551A will also be deleted from the District's Policies and Procedures.
The Administration recommends the deletion of Board Policy 551 - Placement Units - Alternative Programs from the District's Policies and Procedures.
