009of them are at the elementary school either par positions the daycare. >> Okay. Second. >> Okay. So moved by Tim, second by all in favor? >> Yes. >> Um so today at 7.2 we looked over policies. That was the first reading for all of the ones that are listed there under 7.2. And then our attorney recommended that we eliminate a policy because there were several of the policies that covered um complaints and grievances and it was confusing because there were several things and he recommended that we just have one and combine. >> So policy KL is the one that we read and we would like it is being proposed that we eliminate this policy since it's covered in other areas. So, it's covered by um JB GBK. Um and I'm just going to read you
010what Rodney said. Um policy KL is an old policy that was drafted by Associated School Boards many years ago and in his judgment is outdated and puts a heavy burden um on you guys as the board and administration. The only difference um is that just that GBK is much more simpler and it's more streamlined and it's done in a timely manner. KL would take up to 40 days because it's 30 days for this, 10 days for this. >> So GBK is the one that he recommended. So that's why we figure we'll just take it out >> because it's redundant. >> Do we need to do that in a separate motion? >> Okay. >> Yeah, it is >> because I think that's Yeah, it is a separate motion just because the other was a first reading
011and we're just going to be taking action on eliminating schoolboard policy KL. >> Okay. So now you can get >> So if anyone would make a motion, Chris, is there a second? >> A second. >> Second by Amanda. >> Um, a vote. >> Yes. Yes. >> Yes. >> Um, basically that's all we have tonight except we're going to be we have a motion to go into executive session >> at Let me grab my time. Sorry. at 5:40 p.m. >> I'm gonna probably >> this personel then or >> personnel and student >> one and two. >> So it would be like I lost my cheat sheet because I don't have that big memorized. >> It's listed right on there. >> One and two SDL. >> Okay. Yeah. Oh, it was at the bottom. I was on
012the next page. So, we're going into executive session under South Dakota Codified Law 12521 and 12522 at 5:40 p.m. If I have a motion >> move I didn't hear a second though. >> Second. >> Okay. So, Tim, >> sorry guys. And then Amanda, it's going to be four.
