6.g. PRESS Policy Updates
Description:
Attached are regular updates to Board Policy. The majority of changes and/or new language are due to changes related to Faith's Law that now require additional obligations on school districts, specifically the new requirement to complete "sexual misconduct employment history reviews" for new hires and possibly volunteers and contractors. Another item of note is policy 6:230 which provides clarifying language about contesting library content, and 5:125 which updates the employee's personal technology policy. Many items included in the packet are part of the regular five-year review cycle and are not changing. The document referred to as "Rantoul City S.D. 137 - Drafts - 4_17_2023
Version 1" shows all recommended changes. The Board does not approve Exhibits or Administrative Procedures.
