Note the information in section III has been reordered, but the content has remained the same. Policy 420: This is a First and Final Reading because there are only 2 minor technical updates. There is one minor language deletion in Section I. Lastly, resources are added at the end of the policy. Policy 520: This is a First and Final Reading for Policy 520 because there are only minor technical updates from MSBA on Feb 1, 2026 to correct Section references to be correct and to add two resource references to the policy. Policy 613: It is a First and Final Reading. The policy has technical update in references, adds resources, and removes outdated Notes. Note in section VII. B. administration last year added the verbage of "Curriculum Review Committee" so that we know who's responsibility this task belongs to. Policy 620: This policy has minor technical changes that were released on February 1, 2026 from MSBA. The policy committee recommends a single and final reading to adopt at the March 23, 2026 board meeting. |

VIII.G. Final Reading (3/3) of Policy 616, School District System Accountability. (Attachment)
Speaker(s):
Member Clouse
Description:
Even though Policy 616 is due for the third and final reading this month of March, the new legislative updates are technical updates which means they do not change the policy's main content. These new changes are highlighted in green to set them apart from what was seen in the first two readings. The changes pertain to the District Advisory Committee provision with MN Stat. 120B.11, MN statute addition, and a few minor changes in language mentioned above.
Policy 616 was last reviewed and approved on Nov. 25, 2024 with a revision date of June 1, 2024. On October 15, 2025 MSBA released a revision with technical updates. Due to this and with Tim Tydlacka being new the Policy committee recommends three readings to allow Administation adequate time to review, especially Section IV. D. 5. It contains a minor update removing outdated language in section IV. C. 2 and eliminates one of the Cross References.
