C1-Communicable Diseases -No recommendations for edit, ready to move to the body
C2-Solicitations of Staff and Students -TABLED; implementation and process for presenting the Fundraising plan? Is there an approval process, and does it go to a specific Administrator?
C3-Transportation -No recommendations for edit, ready to move to the body

I2-Parent and Student Complaints and Grievances -The policy committee suggested keeping the language of the policy but adding a footnote that states, "the level of authority is defined by the handbook (list the handbook page or related number). -If possible, make the handbook section linkable in the policy for reference.
H26-Discipline Code -The committee is suggesting to keep the language of the policy BUT to consider pulling this policy as an item to discuss in a larger community context. Special note, it seems like this is a hot button issue in which many stakeholders are vested. |
