Description:  Attached is the 2020-21 RBEC Student Handbook.  This handbook uses the MSBA Student Handbook as a template.  All policies that are mandated for distribution are included along with a signature page at the end that is collected.

Description: 
During the 2014-15 school year, prior to moving to RBEC, the district employed 2 Administrative Assistants, 4 Building Support Secretaries, a .5 MARSS Coordinator and a .5 Third Party Billing Secretary.  These positions combined to a 7.0 FTE.  Over the past five years, reductions and combining of duties has resulted in 3.2 FTE remaining for building support comprised of 2 Administrative Assistants, 1 Building Support Secretary, and a .2 MARSS Coordinator.  The reductions over the past five years combined with the increased communication and planning to address COVID-19, MDE requirements and programming have put us in a position to request board approval for an additional support position.

Description:  The Minnesota Department of Education’s Safe Learning Plan (July 2020) states that a masking policy is required for in-person and hybrid learning for the 2020-2021 school year. This MSBA-MASA mandatory policy establishes requirements for employees, students, and other persons (including visitors, guests, contractors, etc.) present on school property to wear face coverings in classrooms, preschool, child care settings and other indoor areas, as well as outdoor areas where a physical distance of 6 feet cannot be maintained between persons, in order to minimize exposure to COVID-19.
