• Policy 503, Student Attendance.
  • This policy had substantial updates so will require 3 readings. Note B. 1. the whole section was deleted and the new listing inserted. A few of the original excused absences were retained. In section 2. b. 4 and 2. b. 5 the highlighted areas are ones that BOLD adopted at the previous update. They can remain the same or be changed, which is an administrative decision.  Changes made since second reading.

Description:  First of one reading of the following policy:

• Policy 506, Student Discipline

• Change is in Section XII.C.3. and it is editing an upper to a lower case "N"

 

• Policy 604, Instructional Curriculum.
  •  Has a February 2026 technical change from MSBA to Section II and revised and current Legal References.
• Policy 613, Graduation Requirements.
  • Has technical changes that were suggested by MSBA in a February 2026 update to adopt that includes updated Legal References and an added Resource. 

Third and final readings for the following policies:

• Policy 404, Employment Background Checks
  • This policy requires three readings due to significant changes in section III. A and following III. B. Language regarding credit reference checks has been maintained as this was approved through legal changes as this was not part of MSBA's template.
• Policy 410 Family and Medical Leave Policy
  • This policy will require three readings due to 2026 Feb 1 MSBA Substantive Changes that are in sections IV. LEAVE ENTITLEMENT and V. SPECIAL RULES FOR INSTRUCTIONAL EMPLOYEES. A legal reference to Minnesota Statue has been struck.
• Policy 530, Immunizations Requirements with Forms
  • This is a new policy at BOLD, so it requires three readings.

Description:  First of three reading of policies:

• 203.2, Order of the Regular School Board Meeting.
  • Requires three readings as it adds a new legal reference and three new cross references. This now matches completely what our agendas for regular meetings typically look like.
• Policy 203.5, School Board Meeting Agenda
  • With the change in 203.2 we need to add this new policy. Currently, we do not have this policy in place, but is currently indirectly covered under 203.2. So, we need to approve this new policy to adopt with 203.2 and 203.6 being looked at this month.
• Policy 521, Student Disability Nondiscrimination and 521.1 Student Disability Discrimination Grievance Report Form.
  • Due to the addition of section II. C. #4 and a new legal reference.
    No changes to 521.1, but a review is needed for the three-year cycle. 
• Policy 701, Establishment and Adoption of School District Budget
  • Substantial changes are suggested in Section III, hence the need for three readings.
• Policy 807, Health and Safety Policy
  • Requires three readings due to several deletions and additions.
  • Note section IV: Chlorine was added at the April board meeting.

Description:  Approval of the Acceptance of Gifts.
