Rationale: 

Any resident or employee of Hastings Public School District #18 is welcome to address the Board of Education at this time on items pertaining to the agenda.  Any person wishing to address the Board is requested to come to the microphone and, on being recognized, give his/her name and address.  Questions relating to employees of the District will not be permitted; such questions should be referred to the Superintendent at another time.  It is requested that comments be limited to five (5) minutes. Citizens who wish to present petitions to the Board regarding agenda items may do so at this time; however, the Board will only receive the petitions and will not act upon them or their contents.

Rationale:  Under the Excessive Absenteeism section there is information regarding a collaborative plan to reduce barriers that have been identified to improve attendance.  The plan is to consider but not be limited to.... And you’ll see a list of various options and services.  It currently says...."Illness related to physical or behavioral health of the child."
 
I am requesting that we change this to say, "The physical, mental, or behavioral health of the child."  This aligns with the revised state statute.  I think this is more inclusive and in line with our practices.   
 
I would ask that you approve the revision of changing this section to say, "The physical, mental, or behavioral health of the child."
