Policy Approvals
Policies presented by Carrie Bruns
New accountability with the DOE, Indiana Charter School Board, and IPS.
All policies and procedures were pulled into standalone policies. Heather (lawyer) is looking through them and will present them in a new form at the September 2026 meeting. We need these now for compliance.
D. Cash asked if there were a lot of changes. C.Bruns stated that most of it is legal: code and clarifying language.
B. Petranoff asked if there were others viewing it other than the CEO and lawyers; the admin team is viewing these as well.
C.
Contracts
SchoolCare (Student Health) IPS has closed our access, so we need our own access and contract.
SDS is for state reporting and compliance, and DOE compliance. The cost will be covered by a grant.
D.
Emergency Preparedness Plan/School Safety Plan
The plan is not circulated for safety reasons, but is available for viewing at request
