Description:  The Board welcomes public comments on topics and concerns that affect the education of students. When stating an opinion before the Board, a statement of facts on which the opinion is based is particularly helpful.  The Board is also interested in your comments for viable solutions and ways of involving others who would be affected by the offered solutions.  Due to confidentiality and liability issues the Board cannot hear complaints against staff in an open session.  A copy of the policy and procedures on how to file a complaint are available at the back of the room, at any school office, from the board secretary, or from the North Santiam School District web site.  If there is anyone in attendance at this time, who has filled out a public participation card and wishes to address the Board, please step forward and state your name and address.

Description:  JFC-Student Conduct and Discipline, JGD-Suspension, JGE-Expulsion, JG-Student Discipline  
Senate Bill (SB) 553, passed in the 2015 Legislative session, added an age restriction and other conditions to when a district can impose an out-of-school suspension on a student, and further added that a district must “...take steps to prevent the recurrence of the behavior that led to the out-of-school suspension...”. A second piece of legislation, SB 556 (2015), added that truancy may not be used as a reason to impose expulsion on a student.  Further, House Bill 2597 (2015) added that the notices required for noncompulsory attendance to the “parent, guardian or other person in a parental relationship,” must include a notice that the parent may request an evaluation of their student’s current individualized education program (IEP), or an evaluation to determine if their student needs an IEP. 

The policies for review this month have revisions based on OSBA recommendation to adhere to these new rules.

JFG & AR-Student Searches
The OSBA recommended policy revisions address the need to have reasonable suspicion or risk of immediate or serious harm before searches will be made and gives notice that students should have no expectation of privacy regarding lockers or other storage areas provided by the school or assigned to a particular student.
