        Description: 
This law requires that districts that serve one or more students with an IEP report the services provided to students during the 2021-22 school year to address loss of learning or lack of progress on an IEP. The law also requires that districts report the money spent to provide the services to students.  We will share our final report to the MDE on these services.      |

                                        VI.C. 1st Reading of Policies 209, 410, 415, 416                 
        Presenter: 
C Johnson     
        Description: 
Policy 209: The suggested introductory note offers context to consider as a school board adopts, reviews, and/or revises this policy. School boards have considerable latitude in creating a code of ethics. Policy 410: The revisions are proposed by MSBA’s law firm in light of federal and state law. Policy 415: The Definitions (Article III) has been updated to include additional definitions and to place the definitions in alphabetical order (for ease of use). Article VI is revised to indicate that the provisions in A. and C. are recommended rather than required. Policy 416: Provisions have been added regarding the federal government’s Drug a& Alcohol Clearinghouse, which is an online database that gives employers (including schools) real-time access to information about commercial driver’s license (CDL) drivers and drug and alcohol program violations (https://clearinghouse.fmcsa.dot.gov/). In addition, this policy is updated in light of Minnesota’s recent legalization of edible cannabinoids.
