VI.A. Approval of an additional third grade section for 2016 - 2017 (Action)
Description:
I have attached the summary that was emailed to you on Wednesday, August 10. It has been updated to reflect changes in the past week. It reflects the addition of a third grade section. Please give me a call if you have any questions.
I move to approve the addition of a third grade section for the 2016 - 2017 school year. |
|
VI.B. 5:185 Family and Medical Leave Act (Action)
Description:
In the second paragraph the sentence will end after the word "period." The highlighted part of the sentence defining the year will be deleted. This should avoid any confusion about 12 weeks of FMLA leave in one year. Eligibility rules for FMLA occur at the end of the policy.
I move to approve policy 5:185 Family and Medical Leave as presented. |
|
VI.C. 5:112 - Service Recognition Policy (Action)
Description:
The goal of the policy is to have certified staff let us know by February 1 for staffing purposes. Therefore, our attorney recommended that we do not try to define separate terms for 12 month employees. The policy as presented provides maximum flexibility for the organization.
I move to accept policy 5:112 as presented. |
|
VI.D. Policies Undergoing 5-Year Review (Action)
Description:
To further their commitment to continuous improvement, IASB reviews each policy that was not updated during the previous five years. This process keeps their material aligned with good governance principals and keeps legal references current. Because the policies were not changed, IASB did not provide new copies. These policies can be updated in a single motion on a first reading.
I move to adopt the policies in the five year review cycle as presented. |

Description:
Jeff reviewed the Executive session minutes for the past six months. He is recommending the release of two sessions.
I move that the Executive Session Minutes from February 10, 2016 and June 15, 2016 be made available for public inspection, as they no longer require confidential treatment, and that Executive Session recordings over 18 months old be destroyed. |

IX. NEW BUSINESS

IX.A. Policy Revisions - First Reading
Description:
Policies 2:70, 6:100 and 8:100 have no options. They have been updated for clarity, footnotes or legal references.
Policies 7:270 and Policy 8:90 each have one option. The recommendation is to reject the option for Policy 7:270. The option is for Opioid Antagonist to be available at the school site for a possible opioid overdose. We will work closely with 911 and local trained professionals should this be an issue. It is also recommended to reject the option presented in Policy 8:90 requiring all booster and PTO organizations obtain 501(c)(3) status. We should encourage new groups to achieve this status and look for firms that may do the work for free. Currently the only booster group with this status is the Elementary PTO. |
