3.5. Policy Approval
Discussion:
Policy revisions required by changes made during the 2024 legislative session as well as federal requirement changes have affected a large number of district policies. Two policies, in particular, student discipline and Title IX, require immediate action by the school board; therefore, as allowed by statute, an emergency approval is being recommended.
The attached Title IX policy (522) does not have a red line version due to a complete rewriting of the policy in order to meet federal regulations. Student Discipline (506) has the redline attached for your review and will be cleaned of redlines prior to posting on the district policy page. The approval of these policies are recommended.
