|
|
Description:

Recommendation: Approve campus attendance committees as presented. Possible motion: "I move we approve the attendance committees as presented."

| Subject: |
6)c. Request for extra travel day for religious absence.
|
|
|
Description:
We have had one request for an extra travel day and one other call to see if we allowed any extra travel dates. Board policy that covers this is FEA (Legal and Local). In legal policy it only states one day of travel to and one day of travel from. Local Policy does not address travel for religious holidays. Therefore this becomes an issue which the Board must make the decision to allow or not allow. I am attaching Legal and local Policy and a calendar of the Holy Days. Recommendation: Not to allow extra travel days on the basis we were already planning on giving one extra day. I can explain in more detail in the meeting. However this is a very political topic. Call me on this if you need to, I will discuss it individually. There does not have to be a formal motion either way just provide me some guidance on following policy or not.

Description:

This is the afternoon of the last Home Football game, so it will be senior night. We have been asked by numerous community members when they could come up and see the new construction.

We are planning on providing 3 tours during the time frame (4:30, 5:00, and 5:30).
