Rationale:  Statutes require that there be a public hearing each year concerning the revenues under student fees and any policy revisions.  The President will call for a motion to open the hearing on Student Fees.  We will present any appropriate information and obtain any public comment after which the President will close the hearing.

Rationale:  Changes to student fees including

Rationale:  State statute requires that the board hold a public hearing on this policy to discuss, consider, and receive input, and then either alter and adopt the revised policy or adopt the policy as written.  

Rationale: 

The Policy Committee has been reviewing policies in order to move towards a full adoption of policies as recommended by Perry Law Firm.  The rationale for the work of the policy committee is to:

• Align policy with current state and federal regulations.
• Clarify procedural language for consistency and transparency.
• Remove outdated references and add recent statutory requirements.
• Consolidation of overlapping policies for efficiency

Once the Perry policies are fully approved and implemented the maintenance of District policies will involve periodic updates on an annual basis. This will enable a more efficient and effective policy process ensuring the legality, relevance and accuracy of the District’s policies.

The sections of policy brought forth this month include the sections of Internal Board Operations and Board Authority as well as legal updates.

Rationale:  The Executive Committee of the Board of Education has been working on a Strategic 5-year plan for Fremont Public Schools. At this time they are recommending an adoption of the plan by the full Board.
