Discussion:
Director Mullins addressed the changes in red that are noted in the proposed draft policy 3.218.2.
Line 8 add 'opt out'. Line 1 and 11 remove AKC - general paragraph (line 7). Line 9 as well. Policy has been reviewed. Kara Hobbs reached out to Franklin School District. A need is for a back-up handler for the dog. Franklin School District pays the vet fees, vaccination, food, training - they purchased the dogs trained. What is the cost per dog? $16,000 for 8 dogs. Food is donated. Without a food donation, $26,000 is the food cost. A comment was made that teachers would be willing to train their own animals for use. The state has a grant perhaps for next year 25-26. |
