10.B. Adoption of Board Policy 208
Description:
The updated Board Policy 208 adds "technical" to the type of policy revision that may be approved in a single meeting; it allows the board to choose whether to direct staff to incorporate technical revisions into policies.
The addition of the word "technical" adds clarification to the term "minor" when referring to changes in policy that have no impact on the substance of the policy. "Technical" and "Minor" have been synonymous when interpreting Policy 208 in the past; however, it is now recommended to add technical to the policy moving forward. Under Board Policy 208, new policies or policies that have substantive changes not made to comply with new laws should be read at two meetings which allow for public comment prior to their approval. Public comment will be allowed prior to any action taken.

10.D. Assurance of Compliance Reporting
Description:
All school districts must complete an Assurance of Compliance with state and federal law and verify Mandated Reporting training by November 15 each year.
By completing all sections of the Assurance of Compliance, school districts provide written assurance that they do not discriminate in their use of funds provided by the Minnesota Department of Education and that they have informed all mandated reporters of their reporting duties. Mandated reporting training to Badger staff was assigned to be completed during the August Back to School workshop via Safe Schools online training module. This assurance is given by each district in consideration of and for the purpose of obtaining any and all federal grants, loans, contracts, property, discounts, or other federal and state financial assistance extended to the district by the U.S. Department of Education and the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). |
