Before we start, I do want to welcome Josh uh Shapone to our family and um feel free to reach out to any of us. Well, unless you don't want to >> and ask us any questions. It just it'll take a while to get things going, but then it'll be >> it'll be easy peasy. >> Awesome. >> Um, does anybody have anything for the floor? Motion on the floor for approval of minutes June 26, 2020. >> Oh, okay. You do that. >> Okay. Non-action items policy update. >> Uh, so we sent these in the Friday report. Um, I just wanted to
007make sure I went through them uh briefly. So the uh policy committee met before the last meeting and reviewed all of these. Most of them are those requiring a annual uh review and so some have no changes at all. I'll go through them quickly. Uh 1,400 public comments. Uh that's one that is uh does require an annual review and an annual 30-day comment period which opened on July 1st. Um and um the only change to that is um noting Dr. Watson's title change to deputy superintendent. So other than that, no changes. Uh the parent family engagement again requires an annual review. 30-day comment period also opened on July 1st. uh no changes at all to that policy. Uh but again, it is required that we uh review it every year and have a opportunity for
008people to comment on it, which is why it's homebound instruction 4327. Um there were really some big changes there, but it was the the main thing is in the minimum hours from the old regulations and the old policy. Uh used to be elementary. Uh it was 1 hour and secondary was two. with now elementary 2 and secondary 3. So that was the main changes there. Um and then we had some internal changes where everything was written in the regulation instead of the policy and we got NISBA's uh policy update and the things we had written in the regulation were actually in the policy. So we just um changed it to match NISBO more. So you saw a lot of red and a lot of crossouts, but it really was just taking our information from the
009regulation and putting it into the policy again mainly with that change to the hours. Uh the student privacy um which is 5550 um oh so I should have said we're going to abolish the regulation now um now that we've taken everything out of that regulation. Uh 555 is our student privacy policy. Uh there was some definition changes to parent guardians. So those were listed for the board. Uh and um there was some changes in how we handle survey data and some requirements about allowing parents to see it if they ask and and not using it in marketing terms. free and reduced lunch policy. 8520 really is um not um something that we have to worry about too much because we are a community eligibility uh provision uh school district uh which now has been reduced
010to if you have 25% of your students eligible then you get a community eligibility uh designation. We've had it it used to be 40 and we passed that as well. So once you are community eligibility which if you don't know the only That means everyone in our every student in our district gets um free lunch or free breakfast. Um there's no there's no designation between kids that need it and kids that don't need it. Um but there are some changes that we put in there in case we ever lose that community eligibility status. uh data privacy security and those things. Uh it um uh really the only thing there is personal identifying information now includes phone numbers and that's the student phone number and parent phone number are now included in PII. So that was
011the change in that one. Uh 9260 is conditional appointment emergency conditional appointment. Uh and it's really about having an emergency and hiring someone that doesn't go through all of the background stuff. We don't really do that. So, but there are some changes from commissioner regulations. So, we included them uh I guess again in case we ever had to. And then the last one was the students 56.95 students uh electronic devices. Uh, and really the only change there is, um, we took out the specific mentions of specific electronic devices because they changed so rapidly. We still had things in there, MP3 players and uh, I think it still said Sony Walker actually. Um, so we just took all the the references to specific devices and just use the all-encompassing uh, electronic devices. Remember, we're using Yonder
012this year. Uh but we didn't put that specifically in there either. Uh we'll have a separate um FAQ and a separate thing that'll go out regarding yonder, but we didn't want to put a brand into our policy. So the policy is more general than how we're going to specifically enforce it. So next, >> so next time we will have last board meeting, we heard the updates on the proposed time. >> Next year when there updates, can we have it in the policy meeting before we present it to the board? Yeah, >> because it is polic part of the policy. >> That's I mean and it states that it is >> it is the board's >> Y. >> So that's a good idea. Um Dr. Everyone's not here, but there's many people here that are on
013that code of conduct committee. So, somebody's uh somebody remind any questions on the policies? They'll be on the next agenda. >> And if you uh Josh, if you're looking for them, you can go through Teresa for policies and she can ship you whatever you want to review or read. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Action items. Motion on the floor for approval of minutes June 26, 2024. Second discussion. All those in favor? Opposed?

Um, but uh also, um, there's as far as good news goes, it's summer. I mean, that's all we got to say is it's summer and I hope everybody enjoys their time away from children. Um, and I think does anybody else have anything else they want to school? >> Yeah. Oh, right. That's it. Yeah. Started this morning. >> And the chiller in this building did start today.
