BACKGROUND

Description:  Description from ODE:  Each year, districts report to their community on their compliance with all Division 22 Standards for Public Elementary and Secondary Schools by making a presentation to the local School Board as set forth in OAR 581-022-2305: District Assurances of Compliance with Public School Standards. After districts have made their report at the local level, they then submit their assurances to the Oregon Department of Education. This annual practice is one way we publicly commit to providing a high-quality educational experience for students in our care. It provides an opportunity for school districts to demonstrate compliance with rigorous standards, reflect on areas in need of attention and alignment, and plan for how to address them. As part of our shared responsibility to provide quality service for our students and communities, this system promotes reciprocal accountability between school districts and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE).

Description:  Overview of how JumpStart Kindergarten went this past August

Description:  Newly revised policy: 

EFA- Local Wellness- revamped the model local wellness policy and brought elements of the accompanying model administrative regulation into the policy.  The result is a revised policy and rescinded administrative regulation (AR-already approved).
 

Description:  Correction and approval:
IGBBA - Talented and Gifted Students - Identification, Required (correction to the policy to reflect Policy KL, instead of using previously approved IGBBA-AR (1) and (2) also required updates to policy.

1. Revised the 8/14/23 version of policy IGBBA just adopted, with this language (it replaces all of the second to last paragraph on page 2): If a parent is dissatisfied with the identification process or placement of their student, they may submit an appeal through administrative regulation IGBBA-AR - Appeal Procedure for Talented and Gifted Student Identification and Placement**.

Rescind- IGBBA-AR(1) (as revised 8/14/23) and IGBBA-AR(2) may be deleted since the new adoption of IGBBA refers to KL as a complaint or appeal process.  The reason is, it would now go to policy IGBB (see 8/14/23 just adopted by the board) following how OSBA restructured these related policies. In the most recent adoption of the district's revised IGBB (8/14/23), the district adopted language that says any complaints regarding program and services will be processed through policy KL.

Description:  The Klamath Falls City Schools Board of Education will now adjourn to Executive Session pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(b)
