20. FIRST READING OF PROPOSED SCHOOL POLICIES:
Description:
The Policy/Curriculum Committee met earlier tonight and reviewed the following policies. This is the first reading of these policies and will be brought forward to the regular January Board Meeting if there are no concerns. 413 Harassment and Violence Updates "sexual orientation" definition to match 2023 legislative change 416 Drug and Alcohol Testing Adds new references to cannabis testing; adds new provisions on cannabis testing and similar provistions. 506 Student Discipline Clarifies that a one-day dismissal now counts as suspension (Art. XII, D, 4) 506 Discipline Complaint Procedure Form New form 507 Corporal Punishment The update reflects recent Attorney General opinions 515 Protection and Privacy of Pupil Records Form Removes the phrase "and other similar information" from Section 4. 620 Credit for Learning Adds Minnesota Statute reference to Art. III, B to increase clarity 606.5 Library Materials In response to requests from MSBA members, the Minnesota School Boards Association (MSBA) has created a model policy for the selection and reconsideration of library materials. The objective is to support school districts and charter schools in establishing processes that are clear, that include input from students, families, and school staff, and that rely upon the experience and training of school staff. As with other MSBA model policies, Model Policy 606.5 offers Notes that explain items and which offer guidance to school boards on decisions that they may choose to make as they engage in the policy adoption process. The model policy language is presented as a stand-alone policy. School boards may choose to revise MSBA Model Policy 606 (Textbooks and Instructional Materials) in order to group all policies regarding materials selection and reconsideration in a single policy. If a school board chooses to amend Model Policy 606:
Whether a school board adopts a stand-alone policy or chooses to embed the language in an existing policy, Model Policy 208’s provisions regarding a multi-meeting process would likely apply.
