Speaker(s):
Member Clouse
Description:
Policy 414 was last adopted on July 28, 2025. In the past few months there have been some minor Minnesota Stature updates to the policy, hence why the updates in this policy are minor: adding text for number words within sentences and statute additions within the text and a statement that staff will annually acknowledge through a signature that they have received, read, and understand the personnel handbook. Since these changes are minor, we are allowed to approve in one reading.

Speaker(s):
Member Frank
Description:
This policy and the forms are new to BOLD, but the recommended model policy has been available from MSBA since 1995. Due to the recent implementation of recreational cannabis products, this is a policy that is necessary and long overdue and recommended by the Policy Committee to add to our BOLD Policy list. It will require three readings as this is a new introduction. It will be up for tentative approval at our November 24, 2025 Regular Board meeting.

This policy will be up for tentative adoption at our November 24, 2025 Regular Board Meeting.

VIII.G. Second Reading of Policy 425, Staff Development and Mentoring. (Attachment)

Description:
This is an entirely new policy that would be put in place. It will require three readings, the first being in October and would be up for tentative adoption in December 2025. This policy has application across current contracts and through Minnesota Statute, hence why it is being introduced as a priorized new policy.
