101315 - Policy Review

Will review the three handbooks to see if everything was covered.

VHS, VHSs, Bullt DVD and Book

Dede:

Did you find the packets I had prepared back in May or June (ARs, etc.)

Are the policies that I expect to be in this board packet our policies or OSBAs? Can I get a copy.

Last meeting - very through presentation of your policy recommendation. Did the Board's job for them.

Suggest the committee review to help your job

I haven't seen what OSBA is presenting now for changes but if it notes the changes, pass that along to the board with a simple comment, if the comment is necessary. This happens in the board packet. The board is asked to review and ask you for any clarifications before the board meeting, not at it. You and/or the committee get those answers ASAP, reply, and then present for 1st reading at the meeting. The experience the committee has had, after a bumpy start, has been good from most board members. Dozens for policies have gone through quickly.

List of policies that state the Superintendent is to do an AR. Many of these in the packet were from other school districts. Suggest that Dede ask OSBA for their recommended policy if they are current.

List of policies that appear in the OSBA handbook that we don't have.

A policy only becomes active when it appears, by name, in the board's printed minutes.

There are a number of policies that I have listed that have been lost in the shuffle. A search for the word suicide on our web site produces nothing. This is one of those policies

There are policies that we approved one version and the policy on the web didn't include some of those changes.
