Description:  Please see the Excel file titled "Policy Direction Summary" for a summary of each policies recommended action. 

1 ) PA's related to the model policy review
Last year, the Arizona School Board Association (ASBA) conducted a full review of their model policy manual. According to ASBA, "the manual update is a team effort of policy and legal experts, as well as district and educational leaders, who are vetting each document prior to sending each section." Below, I have provided the page numbers in each PA that will give you an idea as to why a policy was updated or removed.

PA 917-958 In the files titled "PA 917-958 Part 1 and 2," pages 4-12 will give you a brief statement as to why the policy is being updated. This file also compares the current policy with the proposed changes. The Assistant to the Governing Board still needs to comb through to look for District-specific changes.

PA 961-1046 In the files titled "PA 961-1046 Part 1, 2, 3, and 4," pages 7-26 will give you a brief statement as to why the policy is being updated. This file also compares the current policy with the proposed changes. The Assistant to the Governing Board still needs to comb through to look for District-specific changes.

PA 1047-1064 In the files titled "PA 1047-1064 Part 1 and 2," pages 2-7 will give you a brief statement as to why the policy is being updated. This file also compares the current policy with the proposed changes. The Assistant to the Governing Board still needs to comb through to look for District-specific changes.

2) PA 959, 960, 1065, 1066, 1067, 1068, and 1069 are not related to the model policy review mentioned above.
