III. Policy Committee
A.
Grievance Policy Adjustment
S. Liner presented a slight ministerial change that was made to the Grievance Policy. In June, OCS had requested a Staff Grievance Policy as our old policy did not include staff. In reviewing the new Grievance Policy (approved in April 2018 Board Meeting), it was clear that our intent was to include staff but was not explicitly stated. The policy committee deemed that a clarifying sentence to define the term "school community members" was ministerial in nature and the change does not require a new vote. The Board acknowledges that this revision has been made.
