June 10, 2020 at 6:00 PM - Weber School District Board Meeting

Description:  Due to the USBE licensing changes, listed through Utah Board Rules R277-301 through 308, LEA's must create a Board policy governing LEA specific licensing and endorsements.
Following the creation of Board policy 7135 last month, we have a list of recently hired or currently employed teachers for WSD that fall under the new LEA specific licensing procedures.  WSD will issue LEA Licenses or LEA Endorsements following Board approval and after each candidate completes the specified WSD Online Canvas Course.
Human Resources will track all course work, and the teachers on an LEA License or an LEA Endorsement and will issue the proper LEA specific certificates. 

Description:  Policy 4370 Graduation Requirements is updated to include provisions regarding course grade forgiveness, consistent with USBE Rule R277-717.  The new provision would allow a student to re-take the same course or take a comparable course to replace a grade received in 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grades. The addition of Section VI  provides consistent procedures and forms for replacing grades school to school.  It is requested the Board approve the revised policy on a second reading.

Description:  Weber School District's Student Conduct Policy is revised and updated in order to align our policy with current practices and updated laws and regulations, as well as better inform parents, students and administrators of the expectations for student conduct.  The policy will be used in conjunction with a Student Discipline Administrator Handbook, which will provide further guidance to administrators when handling specific types of student discipline.  The Handbook will ensure consistency across the District while allowing for individual circumstances and examples of non-punitive interventions and restorative practices.  It is requested the Board approve this policy on a first reading.

Description:  Under direction of Business Administrator, Dr. Robert Petersen, the Finance Department has made final adjustments to the 2019-2020 budget.  Dr. Petersen will explain portions of the budget and answer questions Board Members may have.  It is recommended the Board approve the final 2019-2020 budget as presented.  Currently, we have a "draft" budget on file should any patron make a request to see our proposed budget.  On the Monday before the Budget Hearing (June 8th) a "finalized" document will be provided to Board Members.  Dr.  Petersen will outline a proposed budget for FY2020-2021 and answer any questions pertaining to the budget.  Following Dr. Petersen's presentation, the public will have opportunity for comment.

Description:  Board President, Jon Ritchie, will open the meeting to public comment.
