9.A. Approve Second Reading of Revised Complaint Policies KL-R and KL-E - Complaint Against School Employee.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to approve second reading of revised complaint policies KL-R and KL-E - Complaint Against School Employee. This motion, made by {Insert Board Member} and seconded by {Insert Board Member}, {Insert Action Result}.
Rationale:
The proposed updates to policies KL-R and KL-E are designed to enhance the clarity and accountability in our formal complaint process. Currently, the policies assign the responsibility of writing a formal complaint to the supervisor. By shifting the responsibility for writing the formal complaint to the complainant, we ensure that the concerns are clearly articulated in the complainant’s own words, providing a more accurate account of the issue. This change promotes greater transparency, increases personal ownership, and streamlines the process, making it more efficient for both the complainant and the administration. |

9.B. Approve Second Reading of Revised Complaint Policies GBM and GBM-R - Staff Complaints and Grievances.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to approve second reading of revised complaint policies GBM and GBM-R - Staff Complaints and Grievances. This motion, made by {Insert Board Member} and seconded by {Insert Board Member}, {Insert Action Result}.
Rationale:
The proposed updates to Policy GBM and GBM-R will enhance the clarity and effectiveness of our policy by removing "complaint" from the policies. This revision will promote greater procedural clarity, while improving the efficiency of addressing both complaints and grievances.

9.C. Approve Second Reading of Revised Section I: Instruction Policies Related to HB 1197.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to approve second reading of revised section I: Instruction Policies Related to HB 1197. This motion, made by {Insert Board Member} and seconded by {Insert Board Member}, {Insert Action Result}.
Rationale:
The proposed updates to our district policies are necessary to comply with the new requirements of HB 1197, effective January 1, 2025. This bill mandates that public schools implement measures to limit minors' access to obscene materials, not only through public access computers but also via all tangible resources. While our district already complies with federal Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) standards, the new law expands the scope to include any written material, images, recordings, or similar items. To meet these requirements, we must ensure that our policy is published on the district website for transparency and accessibility. The policies addressed in this informational reading include the addition of policies IIBG and IIA, updating policies IIAC, IIBGA, and IIBGB, and deleting policies IIAA and IIBGB-R.

9.D. Approve Second Reading of Revised Policies IKFC, IKFC-R - Alternative High School Credit Attainment, and IKFC-E Online Learning Agreement
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to approve second reading of revised Board Policies IKFC, IKFC-R and IKFC-E. This motion, made by {Insert Board Member} and seconded by {Insert Board Member}, {Insert Action Result}.
Rationale:
Policies IKFC, IKFC-R and IKFC-E reaffirm the district’s commitment to providing alternative credit attainment programs as a valuable option for students in special circumstances. While face-to-face instruction remains the district’s primary mode of education, alternative options, including online courses or correspondence programs, may be approved when it is in the student’s best interest and meets specific criteria.
