Individual Actions Items
A.
Approve Board Policy 2161 ~ Special Education and Related Services for Eligible Students; First Reading
Vote
To avoid redundancy with verbiage in the procedure, this paragraph has been removed from the policy.
Approve Board Policy 2230 ~ Transition to Kindergarten Program; First Reading
Vote
Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 6260 revised RCW 28A.300.072. This legislation limits state-funded enrollment in Transition to Kindergarten programs and requires districts to prioritize enrollment as noted by the verbiage change. It also authorizes districts to charge sliding-scale tuition fees for non-eligible children and mandates specific reporting requirements for programs.
Approve Board Policy 3246 ~ Restraint and Isolation; First Reading
Vote
This policy is cross referenced in Board Policy 2161.
The change is due to the legislation's amended and expanded requirements of RCW 28A.600.485. The central purpose is to ensure that restraint and isolation remain emergency interventions of last resort, used only when reasonably necessary to prevent an imminent likelihood of serious harm. Not as discipline, punishment, convenience or a planned behavioral intervention.
Significant changes prohibit chemical and mechanical restraints and prohibits the use of rooms intended primarily for student isolation. Most of these changes are in the procedure.
It also substantially expands incident reporting, annual data analysis, governing board oversight, and statewide reporting to OSPI.
Communications with Staff, Guests, and District Residents
Anyone wishing to speak to something other than a “What’s Right” or an “Individual Action Item” will be given the opportunity to speak. Public comment period is not a time for dialogue between the board and the public. The board will not respond to the public. The board will not respond to statements, questions, or challenges made during public comment period and there will be no back-and-forth dialogue. Please know that the board’s silence is neutral. It is neither a signal of agreement nor disagreement with the speaker’s remarks.
