Subject:
VII.A. Policy Update 127
Presenter:
Board President, Wanese Butler
Description:

**Information Only** 
Update 127 has been integrated into the online version of the TASB Policy Reference Manual.

Revisions to the legal framework are described in the update packet (pdf) Explanatory Notes.

The Policy Reference Manual is a comprehensive collection of federal and state statutes and regulations, case law, attorney general opinions, and commissioner’s decisions affecting Texas school districts.

As such, it is an excellent reference document that recites a broad array of legal requirements, many of which apply to all districts, others to only a certain few. For this reason, these legal framework documents are not suitable for incorporation in localized policy manuals.
