|
|
12.1.4. Recommendation to approve first reading for policies 201, 202, 203.1, 534 and 902.
Description:
201- Legal Status of the School Board-
The Powers and Duties section does not have the same verbate in the same format. Also, the cross references would need to be updated as we are now using MSBA policies as labels instead of “Le Sueur-Henderson Public Schools Policy” where appropriate. Recommend using the format and verbage from the MSBA policy for the section Powers and Duties. This would then have the whole policy match the MSBA. 202- School Board Officers- The verbiage in our current policy is different for section 2A. The verbiage in our current policy goes into more detail. as suggested by MSBA for the section on Organization. The verbiage of the current policy is different under Section E regarding Superintendent. For all purposes, it still is an MSBA policy with some additions. However, with policies, sometimes less is more. I would recommend to move to total MSBA policy. 203.1 School Board Procedures-Rules of Order- Under section 3A Section, there are 3 additional points written that MSBA does not include. Under Rules of Order, the current policy under 3 B has additional language labeled N. O. P. I recommend to edit out the extra language. I believe that MSBA captures the intent of this policy. |

12.1.5. Recommendation to approve first and final reading for policies 203, 203.2, 203.5, 203.6, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213 and 214.
Description:
203 Operation of the School Board-Governing Rules-
Policy is current with MSBA Policy. 203.2 Order of the Regular School Board Meeting- The policy order doesn’t match the MSBA policy, but it doesn’t need to. The MSBA policy provides guidance. We have added some components to the agenda. Do we wish to add those components to the policy? The MSBA suggests what agendas need to be similar this statement leaves room to fluctuate if we wanted to utilize MSBA policy. I’m ok with ours being slightly different as the agenda in the MSBA policy is a suggestion. 203.5 School Board Meeting Agenda- Our current policy matches the MSBA polity. No red lines have been added since 2012. 203.6 Consent Agenda- Policy is current with MSBA Policy. 204 School Board Meeting Minutes- Policy is current with MSBA Policy. 205 Open and Closed Meetings- The red lines are regarding legal references. All other components of this policy are current with MSBA. 206 Public Participation in School Board Meetings- The word “citizens” is changed to “persons”“Citizens of the school district” changed to “persons”. 207 Public Hearings- Policy is current with MSBA policy. 208 Development, Adoption, and Implementation of Policies- Section V letter A has red lines that indicate that a superintendent will develop policies except for those pertaining to the board operations. 209 Code of Ethics- Policy is current with MSBA policy. 210 Conflict of Interest- Policy is current with MSBA policy. 211 Criminal or Civil Action Against School District- Wording has been changed from “It is the” to “The” and adding “is” due to this wording change instead of the word “that”. 212 School Board Member Development- Red lines were in the cross reference section. 213 School Board Committees- An edit of “finance” to audit was suggestd, but it is the district decision. We have different committees with Finance and buildings and grounds being “1”. We also have HR which MSBA doesn’t. However, committees are at the selection of the board, so it can still be the MSBA policy. Except for the specific names of committees our policy is current with MSBA. *Note, if the board determines to add marketing to the official committees, we would want to edit this policy to add it. It would still be insignificant. 214 Out of State Travel by School Board Members- Our policy is current with MSBA |
