6.E. Discussion/Action: “Policy Update 127:

• (LEGAL) policies
• (LOCAL) policies (see attached list of codes)”

(LEGAL) policies: Although (LEGAL) policies are not adopted by the board, TASB recommends that the board review them. Since review of the (LEGAL) policies may result in discussion, the agenda should, at a minimum, reference “(LEGAL) policies.” If board members plan on discussing specific (LEGAL) policy changes, the relevant policy codes, titles, and subtitles should be listed on the agenda.
(LOCAL) policies: Board action on the (LOCAL) policies included in the update must occur within a properly posted, open meeting of the board.
The (LOCAL) policy changes — each addition, deletion, or replacement — should be listed in alphabetical order by policy code, title, and subtitle. The list on the following page is our compilation of that information, which may be copied and pasted into your meeting notice, staff communications of board action, and board meeting minutes.
