001[Music] Paul is meeting to order at [Music] 3 3 303 um let do the agenda review yes does anyone have any objections to the agenda okay um now we do the [Music] pledge aliance to the the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation [Music] going to review the policies um the first one to go over is the educational records and bil you were going to be doing that one yep that one was me um so I look with the two and my recommendation is basically just going to be to use the uh the called the vsba yeah to use the vsba policy uh they're nearly verum except for vsba policy has these nine items listed in the middle the current map run policy only includes numbers one and
002seven so it's pretty lacking including those others and even number one it's lacking and that it do provide this 45 day time time frame for responding um to a records request but everything else other than that one through nine like I said is I believe is Reba in the maple run policy to the BBA policy so my recommendation is just to adopt the BBA policy as it is I Like the Way bulleted out paragraphed I'm also a fan of bullets so makes it a little easier read [Music] yeah so there was no other changes in that one no that was um the main item but it is uh the way it's written right now the M run poliy is pretty lacking in those other other bullets doesn't provide for the procedures for how things are
003going to be done and like I said just missing a um so I think you wanted to see what I do what I've done in the past is sorry my um I would say that you know Bill gave his recommendations a couple people say you're in favor and then if you wanted to you could take a vote or you could just do like how are we all are we all good this amended you know this revision to the board as [Music] revision do either wayen thumbs upbs down spot okay thank you Bill for that does anyone have any recomend any other words to say about that no so we can move it on you want to have to vote mooving on to the board sure all those in favor of keeping the SBA policy this
004and adopting it say y y [Music] no bring it forward to the [Music] board yeah second policy is student alcohol and drug [Music] myself my this is quite okay yeah so when you first look at it the blocks what was there the purple is what was in our policy but not in the model policy and the red is what was in the modelc policy but not an our policy so the first thing is the title um ours had marijuana in there um and the model one is just student alcohol and drugs I felt like drugs encompassed marijuana but if anybody feels like it should be called out specifically discuss okay um and then that the introduction up there the red I just added in um and then the other illegal drug regulated substance or alcohol
005I just put that in from the model and took out the crossout just because it seemed a little more concise and said the same thing um and then if you scan down to the purple the support and referral system that was in our policy and I thought it was good I didn't want to take it out um because it does offer it says we're going to develop a support and referral system for students who either refer themselves or who are bir and that seems important to me um and then the other thing that was added at the bottom of this one was immediate procedures and emergency procedures and I did open up the corresponding procedures and I didn't read them thoroughly but they are pretty thorough and that's not something you would change anyway right
006responsibility I will I'm going to make a note to take a look at this yeah we do have procedures but Mo on to yeah they seem pretty thorough and at least this is saying okay if something immediately happens go to the procedure yeah and then on the back page that again the purple was in our already in our policy and so staff training Community involvement the only one I wasn't sure about if you wanted to keep in though was the annual report because that was not required um is that something that you want to continue to no I think that should come out that's what used to be there right has changed okay so we could just speak that [Music] out yeah and then and underneath that where it says administrative responsibilities that's a typle
007yes I just saw that um and then so that next red part was in the model policy not in ours I just added it in um and then the notification was in both policies question just um [Music] so you know when we go back to the titles and I just don't see it maybe I'm still missing what about prescription drugs yeah and even over the counter like I just want like there are like somebody had you know a lot of notos or you know like they're so they're using it to get high like um so that's usually something that's in the language and I'm surprised that it's not even in the model I'm surprised yeah it wasn't in the model and I didn't know if it was a separate um policy sometimes I've seen it
008separate from from uh this like maybe like a nurse puts together you know what I mean in terms of like um prescription and non and over the counter regul yeah that's where I going I think we're a regulated substance but no no is not a regulated substance you know there are definitely different things that you can get over the counter that if you take too much of it can still I mean if you took too much cough medicine and which unfortunately is something that young people do so there are things that are both over the it I mean for me it's it's all about the used to the intent to get high right the intent to um I wonder if that's why wanted right underneath that it's a misuse yes of any substance so that
009needs to be put back in there yes yeah Miss use yes I'm I'm sorry I didn't read this one because it wasn't mine oh yeah yeah the end just said I put brackets around it so it would be illegal drug comma regulated subst comma alcohol or and just for the title I would put alcohol in other drugs because alcohol is also yeah that's [Music] true any other [Music] um Bill I know that you said that your um the procedures that you had written procedures do you feel and maybe this is not a POS responsibility asking um do you feel that all of the schools have the same I mean I know that they they shouldn't have the same procedures but I so many times there'll be like a sixth grader that's that has an issue
010and then all of a sudden school goes ballistic because they don't know what to do right and then they're trying to call the people that they and they because they don't have anything right there so I just want to make sure that they all have procedures they change them for developmentally appropriate y cool and um and how much of that is um for lack of better words e of access when there shouldn't be yeah yeah okay and so is there a nicotine um policy yes I had pulled that one up first so i' have to look at that because I have to look at the um I understand about the trying to like condense and put them together but I need to look at the structure just when I saw this one on the agenda
011it made me think of oh I hope our our n because it probably says tobacco and we have to change that nicotine yeah so just making sure that that's all updated as well I sent that one to Amy Brewer [Music] aot she's [Music] awesome but she has suest it too like maybe could be all in one but she was yeah I wanted go to BBA and why there may be some federal statutes that come into one that don't you know it's all these references that are back the policy then there might be something different there that's I don't know I asking that question where it be trickier now simply just because of vaping devices not knowing what oil is in a vaping device is it an oil is a non oil is it a THC
012oil is it a c I can tell you in our procedures we [Music] so then that should just you know what I mean you want to have that in here if you're if you're um talking about it in terms of it being a nicotine device versus a drug device I guess I mean again not not Dr marijuana or CBD all illegal 18 or under exactly 21 21 [Music] yeah so going forward um is everyone okay with the changes that we describ so far want to present it to the board all those in favor I all is closed [Music] moving to Transportation Bill thank you this this one as well um so I knowed just they're pretty both pretty brief but the VP model um is a little bit more firm and the district will or
013will not provide transportation whereas the M flexible I feel like that's probably appropriate to leave flexible the nature of district [Music] schools around so I wouldn't make any changes to that I recommend any I did note that the VBA Model includes a statement that the policy will be filed to each school's principal's office where the maple run policy silent to that I don't know if that's common practice already or some other policy all of these policies should be filed in certain locations so I wasn't to be honest not sure if that one should be included specifically in this Transportation policy or if that's already covered somewhere else we don't we don't I mean there's access to there a physical [Music] paper I think it's because of doing the work through Electronics [Music] I mean I
014think about back right I mean I was thinking these are all on the website yeah I just wanted toe [Music] that I can tell you since being here is that provide transportation for all high school students that's what's the what's the reason is that just because I mean I just drove here saw 100 kids walking the street they live within a qu mile of the facil I assume that would be a huge expense to a huge expense that's the biggest one I can give you for where it has um I think it's just been part of the tradition of BFA for years and years and years they had to do that because they don't school since 2005 there's nothing in the law that says you have to do that either transportation is a made for
015schools it's not for any I think that's what I was thinking of when I read this and noted flexibilities in it it makes sense in some instances for some of the facilities to have that Transportation maybe not all in general my recommendation to keep thank you anyone have any see none we will move it forward to the board all those in favor all right Bill you're up again English language learn you got knocked out early uh so I noted that the the mapun policy and the espa model are both similar um there is a specific difference in that the VBA model uses English learner whereas mle run uses English language learner to be honest I'm not sure if there's a technical difference in those or if it's just different different words meaning the same thing
016if that's what it [Music] is the one thing that I did note that I'd suggest adding is in the vsba model um it defines the English learner which I think most of that is already covered in the maple run policy the maple run policy uh defines this as someone whose uh primary or dominant language is not English I think that mostly covers numbers one through three within the vsba model but number four I think might be worth including in that it actually talks about difficulties in speaking Reading Writing understanding English that it would be difficult to meet academic standards difficult to understand instruction and cause difficulties with just participating fully in society um I think that a little in my mind a little more clearly defined than just saying someone who English is not their
017primary language or native language I know a lot of folks where English is not their primary language but they would not have any of these hardships um because they are fully fluent in English as well as their native language um so I think if the intent is to try to provide opportunities for those English language Learners where it's an actual difficulty I think that would be a good addition to the maple run policy just a blanket statement of those primary langu English can I well one I do think the I do think there was the switch to English learner English language so that's probably a consistent thing to have um in there and then um just looking at my question is around it specifically specifies age3 through 21 and I think that there's a real
018reason for that I think it has um I don't want to speculate on why the reason is there but I think it has to do with access to Services beyond the age of 18 so um potentially yeah so I'm just thinking and wondering if it might some parts of that definition might need to be in there I mean is there anything that would I legally require or like should I guess it's I don't know so I'd have to go talk to John M because he this is the part that he oversees but um I've also seen multilingual lingual yeah AB learner I've seen that as well um but I think you have to have I know you have to have one two and four I'm not sure that um residency under three is part of
019it yeah um but um yeah but I know you know you do have that be want to come to be in the school system for us to be providing them services and they have to be that 3 to 22 is just a the uh each range for instruction you right it's just interesting that it's they chose to have it in there under the definition and I'm just wondering but this gives a definition to it which is not on so yeah so we would add the definition in bullets one two and four okay buil question um number two it says Elementary School don't we have some partners that are just pre schools should we start I would just say prek yeah I think we only have to provide one of the things I want to check
020is legally for not do it for pre I'm not sure that obligated prell comes from the feds and preschool is not mandated across the United States like I said it's not saying we wouldn't do it so one things we have to check out [Music] and it may be the pleasure of the board that even though it's not required we want to say in our policy that we want to do yeah how does that work um so it would it would not be under universal access is what you're saying right there's some things that happen in kindergarten that because it's a federal in in federal education there's no recognition under AG um six or seven one the other but basically kindergart it was first grade for a while it's finally gra across the mission but there's
021no recognition of prek so Services there may say you have to be involed in an elementary school not pre program Fally now all these required policies that we're looking at right now we're just the requirements not the recommended ones to consider are following basically there's some power of law either from the state or that doesn't mean that if so the minimum would be to do elementary secondary if the board said hey we want to sure those services are okay I want to check with our attorney first so we're putting ourselves in a position we don't want to be in for something legally but um if there wasn't any problem the board said hey we say if it's something that we could look into that would be my I don't know other people feel about to
022to to [Music] yeah going forward uh so we'll bring that back next time bring that one back that okay [Music] Y and then bill in terms of policies um this um yeah I guess I I want to bring this back a little bit more just making sure that we are um do we have the the ability like on our website or for paperwork to make sure that it is um multil languaged um you know what I mean like you want to write anything like that into the or is that just that's actually fed it's federal law that we have to do that okay so our our website on M translates okay I'm just trying to think of like yeah accessibility all that yeah yeah perfect all we have to do all our documents we do
023that with all the families we know do even if a student isn't an English langu we we have to provide and they new right and then like IEPs and 504s and graduation and we have an app that does that course not perfect get it yeah okay cool thank [Music] you all right so we bringing that one back and moving on to Jo yeah firearm all right so excuse [Music] me okay so looking at the maple runs versus the VSP um what I saw the differences were um were some of the you know in that first uh paragraph some of the policy there's more statutes um stated in the maple run one versus the VBA some of it is but it's not um maybe not linked uh the definitions are are the same um the sanctions
024are also the same but map run adds in um aiding other students and immediate removal from school there is if you go below for C the implementation on the VBA um it does talk about that the superintendent um has the right to contact law enforcement or TCF um but um doesn't talk about the immediate uh removal from school um I was I was actually did you guys put or did we did we put in anything other students because I wasn't here when that was done so that was it was just kind of interesting like that would be something that I would think that if somebody wanted to add that you would talk to a lawyer about yeah because it open I'm sure these are all assume assume all yeah um the other thing that I
025thought was uh interesting about this was okay so like the policy piece it talks about it is the policy of the board you know it is um further the intent of the board it talks about the board almost as the onus of this and the board only knows if a superintendent or a principal brings that information to us so that just seems and I it might just be how I'm interpreting it though um but I just wanted to have a little discussion about that or maybe clarification on that we did have a situation not so long ago and well I'm seeing that in the model policy it's first I know but again you know like we only know about it if it's brought to us we don't know about it in our policy it say
026say any student who brings a firearm to school shall be brought by the superintendent to the school board for an expulsion that's yes um and then the superintendent and the principal or the designate also has some leeway with that right if you go on to the sanctions uh the student was unaware that he or she had brought a firearm to school it was in their vehicle the student did not intend to use the firearm to threaten or in danger others the student is disabled and misconduct is related to the disability and the student does not present an ongoing threat to others likely expulsion would not serve the best interest of the people so that might be somebody who's on you know a plan or whatnot so I mean I I'm fine with all of that
027I just thought that the the introduction to it was just interesting [Music] but [Music] again I don't know if that we could figure out what the int of that language was because I'm not sure when the model policy which revision it was that actually put those in that policy language I think I don't know if it I don't know if it protects the board more with it says this is what the board's trying to do someone brings a fire on Jus but the board didn't know about it does that protect the board more saying this is the intent trying to do but we wouldn't bring anybody you would bring them oh yeah I would bring this requires that I have a hearing yes but you also have I have some the ability to bring or
028not bring someone and I just didn't know how people felt about the information that's in there um well I guess the way I read it actually on line 40 so the student found by the board after hearing of fire School shall be expelled for at least one calend year however the board May modify the expulsion on a Case by case basis when it find circumstances such as been not limit toe to one they I don't get the judge that because there was one two years ago that I think a bunch of the board ask me like Bill why' you bring this and I'm like the way I read that they tell me only the board can make that judgment not me as a superintendent I have to call for the inter that's how I read
029it too yeah I don't get to make that judgment so you you there's an automatic meeting right hearing but then there can be judgment based on the information y I just I don't have the no thank you so I didn't know how people felt in terms of the aiding other students or immediate removal from the school um I think that 29 for the immediate removal from school is 29 to 34 [Music] I mean it's clear that they're saying if there is immediate threat or disruption you know I don't think anybody would take issue with that I sections I like the ating and the immediate removal okay we're able to keep [Music] them it makes me think of the situation that happened two years ago bill when I look at the immediate removal from school and
030so that is a judgment call so I just didn't know I just [Music] wanted is there any more to that was an issue yeah so what do you think what's your opinion on that I think that that's a call at the time um of the superintendent and it says superintendent for there doesn't me so so you don't nothing you want to want there nothing I want to change here okay I want to be accountable if I don't do it right I want be you know like if I kick kid out that had a gun in their car and didn't know it came not sure if that poses an immediate threat to the school but some cases in some cases we kids firearms and may we don't know where we're at it's the context right in
031every situation context is what makes makes that decision yeah yeah so the the vsba does not have the aiding or the immediate removal that's the the the only difference that I saw in here everything else is the same so everybody's on board with both those pieces move to the board so I would just remind you if you don't um I want to look at our policies on policies and I don't have that you can move it to the board for just like it's been reviewed if there's no changes you could I think it's good for to take a vote here so you record it some minutes you went through it um but I'm not sure the board has taken any action I want to look at policy policy policies we're not making any changes that
032we don't have to take right like the does take any say review this one the same also there would be a way of notating on the bot back under the Mr last last review March 10th 20 2 yeah so goes on to the policy so we know we keep these dates right I I do have a question about this one lines 26 and 27 and the aiding other students students with knowledge of a fire campus or activity or required to report the matter to a staff member or adults is that the appropriate place I I agree with having that but having this under aing other students is the appropriate place because just have a knowledge of it may not be may or may not be depending on the situation considered e another student and if
033that's within e other students it talks about um talks about the discipline that could happen it does that kind of conflate those two issues where just knowing about it you're going to be considered Aid it's falling under this section if you haven't reported it right I think once once it's become known you know a g you got I agree okay I once it's been recorded then you don't have to continue you know I mean but if if it's not aware yeah I come to Jess and she's one teachers da I heard that those got a gun you know I'm reporting might do okay I agree I was just wondering if that's okay I'm good [Music] one is participation in home study students um that was me and I liked the SBA [Music] one of the
034changes was in line seven um the SBA had integrate home study students instead of encourage home study students I just like that language better um and that was basically it I kind of like the the layout of the definitions and administrative responsibility in the bullet point in just I like the [Music] definition anyone have any thoughts on [Music] that put this one forward to the board that's okay with everyone [Music] model is anyone [Music] CL student attendance um so there were a few different things um so if we look under line 10 I did highlight my own and cod it I should have made one for everyone but take Jess's Le next time so uh line 10 and 11 um one of the pieces in the BBA policy it says uh or sorry in the
035mid one unless they're mentally or physically unable to continue or EXP used by the superintendent in writing um the vsba one just says as excuse from attendance as provided in state law so I don't know if um I don't know if there would be any reason to change that but just kind of pointing that uh difference out to people um their whole definition section is missing from the maple run policy um so it really does provide a definition of Trance which my recommendation is to include those definitions in there um especially since it um I think really gives more of an outline um to that it does have the mentally or physically unable to attend down here so I think that was just condensed in the maple run but I I like the way that
036this setup is for the definitions um in terms of what Trent means but then also um you know what's considered excused uh I think it just makes it clear uh the third piece is just under implementation um that we're missing that language there um in terms of uh appointing one or more individuals as the Trent office sir unless I'm missing that [Music] somewhere we do not have that um and it's recorded with the clerk um honorable for July 3r so my three areas are well honestly this can stay up here the first one line 10 and 11 just unless we want to make it a little bit um clear but they took some pieces that were broken out and condensed them down my recommendation is to un condense them and go back um you know
037to the bullets there so I would suggest that we add the definitions and the implementation section from the BBA policy into ours I do have one really random question for you Bill that I'm hoping you can answer so at various points in here they use the word legal pupils but then lots of other places ad Jus as students and I'm curious as to and so the vsba does have a definition of legal people oh yeah I I just saw that in one of these policies and I was like oh okay but it was just really interesting that at what point would we why would we use legal people in some places and student and other I'm just curious if certain never delt into that that issue I'm like I'm not sure because here it's like
038legal pupils between the age of six and 16 who are attending the district but it's inconsistent throughout even the vsba policies and the maple run policies so I'm just wondering if certain wonder I don't know the answer to jar but here's I'm wondering and I may be interrupting you too much the legal that happens when I get like on a or um legal pupil means like there's a legal definition of what a pupil is yes we it's like back to the prek discussion right we have other peoples that come to other students who come to school but they're not legally required to be here okay and when I think about attendance you're only required to be here till 16 right so you aren't legally required people for 177 and 18 year olds yeah and that
039was my Wonder are policies here um that really only apply to Legal pupils versus all students and so I'm just wondering and and I guess that's why I'm not that's not why I'm not a educational attorney right who advises schools but my guess is there are certain places where it needs to be legal pup and other places where it can be students so I would I highlighted legal people here I think I would leave it just in the sense of for this one so it was just a wonder that I had so ask question yeah I'm curious uh just to make sure that there's consistency within the policies especially the ones that need to pertain to a certain group of students versus other ones that can be more broad to include all students who are
040you know Maple run so my recommendation is to leave everything as is um except for adding the definitions and implementation section from the bbaa policy and here any any other input hearing none so we're going to be moving this one forward to the board after the the additions [Music] protection of pupil rights um Maple runs policy is protection of people rights amendment notice and consent to opt out for specific activities um [Music] one thing I liked I circled on the school board associations number the model policy number four I don't see that on our policy the right of a parent to inspect upon request any instructional [Music] material and I will like to see [Music] that that number five on the back yep I have that to I need to highlight more like you do
041C8 [Music] um I don't see any [Music] changes in our policy extremely simar to the model well done you're saying [Music] keep is everyone okay pleas keep policy as is Jessica you are on C9 some [Music] cont so back um Joanna you were on the committee on this right yeah so back when we had rice Vermont we had um a committee made up of teachers administrators um staff parents the Abby um Farm to school people and we spent 10 years going 10 years we spent two years going through like Federal recommendations best practices comparing it to what we were doing we did a whole big assessment and we came up with this very lengthy policy um and going back through it and that and then hit and like you know the committee fell apart everything
042kind of fell apart and so I did go back through it and I changed I Consolidated some things there's actually like some of the things were very repetitive after reading it again so I tried to organize it Like the Model um but then there were some things in there and I me to go back and Mark these to see if they were still happening or even able to happen happen with the way the district is set up now um let me see if I can scan through and see ones that I really have question on this might be one like we clean not to go back to again because it's just so long I don't know about it um we could clean it up with some tracking changes yeah and then everyone can see that
043yeah I tried didn't track in here just it's like the red is what I didn't necessarily add but kind of reorganized and then cross out some things and I moved into other sections the cross out move into the world some of the Cross outs I just took out and some of them I just moved elsewhere or used the model language because it summarized It [Music] better work here yeah let me see I find really questionable um there's some things that I don't think are happening anyway um I mean we have on page three schools label healthy food items so students know what the healthy choices are I don't know if we ever got to actually doing that and if AB is able to do that um I think we did clean out like the competitive
044food so whatever sold with lunch is also supposed to Smart guidelines um on page four the first cross out I actually combined that with um there's a section that talks about encouraging um trying new foods so I combined those two but the add used to be really vigil doing taste tests I don't know if they are still doing that not as much as I've seen but I can't tell you that I've been in the cafeteria a lot city was kind of at the Forefront but with Jon on know what's happening so I didn't you know I don't know whether to keep that in and mandate something they're unable to do or take it out um [Music] for [Music] um some of the physical activity stuff um you know prek through 12 should have 30 minutes
045of physical activity within the school day P oh sorry page seven yeah um so that may or may not be happening you know that's outside of PE yeah I think we're in high school like you know moving classes yes that do [Music] happen I'm just wondering Bill with the um educational quality standards that Al go into effect in July one there are slight differences in the amount of PE in there there are some that in there ear but I'm just wondering I mean they're not officially in effect until July 1 so how would that I would want to check to make sure the policy was where the new yeah and off the top of my head I can't remember what and I just took my I want to say I just took it out of
046my bag right before I came hear what they are so I don't have them in front of me but um they're similar but they are adjusted yeah I want to say it's 30 minutes for students 16 minutes yeah so that might just if we're updating the policy can we update yeah so I check out eqs yeah yeah just it seems silly to update and then update again when they come out [Music] yeah is on page five uh the second goal for physical education and physical activity the same as on page seven there's [Music] minutes 84 to 87 oh okay and then it says on 127 to 131 it says basically oh yeah yeah they were kind of combined yeah so on page five I think I was trying to break it out like the model
047they had PE and physical activity separate so yeah we could probably take out physical activity language that first that first paragraph from like 127 yeah [Music] then School shall not use physical activity or withhold physical education movement opportunities or recess as a punishment and I think that still happens Ks are kept [Music] in I would not want to take that out but inconsistency yeah there is a little bit on that we've C this [Music] year on um a 132 and 133 um is it do all of the schools I don't I don't know about City and town does Middle School have okay so it's ask the same thing why wouldn't we include yeah it's um for Middle School yeah I think some of the left over terminology from thinking Elementary means PR yeah it is
048I just wanted to make sure that it was accurate it was a big discussion I think that was intentional because the Middle School don't get 20 minutes what do they get do you know what they get 15 not sure I'm not sure exactly what it is I like more but then they were like the scheding [Music] thing I 15 minutes yeah I think we leave it in here that was all elementary it's sort of I'm just wondering if we want to be more specific about Middle School there's just so much research out out there about students moving and we're saying in here that students will get 30 minutes of movement outside of um you know I think there's something that says outside of PE time right that they're have some I would love to I
049would love yeah get gets [Music] oh and then lines 157 physical activity op opportunities it said should be provided at the schools for families and community members soend me that next [Music] [Laughter] and then is the red on page eight and all that model policy yes and actually I'm thinking that health education oh no that's Health not yeah sorry yeah that's all just model language [Music] celebrations and rewards people I mean I don't want to change it I know sometimes teachers get upset about that love it to day they just have a hard time food comes try not to do think J I'm happy to look through it too for the eqs but I think that there's also stuff on I'm wondering that was going through my head as well I just remember at all
050what it is but I I do think that there are um updates in there for that as well that we probably want to so I'm just wondering if our next step would be cleaning it up and then bring back bring it back yeah yeah yeah yeah I would definitely like to talk more about the education sure that's happening in all [Music] schools at the bottom of paging that R was just kind of resmar that language was in the original policy um also not happening know every there's supposed to be a committee that meets um I think it's said quarterly and then every 3 years there's supposed to be an assessment of how well things are going so we've had a I re [Music] it oh there used to be so page N9 line 182 there
051used to be a really strong staff Wellness committee as well they were Always setting up activities I don't know if that's still going on yeah we have a district and building line that have done by oh good a group that given activities out there but are work with Vermont Health initia done a really good job Mak sure like I get my week emails join us to do this that which campaign is out [Music] there yeah I'm just not in it anymore do you have call Curly um anywhere did you see it anywhere in here do you want policy though I'm not sure that I want that part of the policy it's just a benefit that the teachers gets their benefit there is um line 159 the district has joint use agreements for Community use facilities
052and school use of community facilities for his activity programing con kind of kind of cool as a yeah not all schools have that [Music] so the rest of that red was all from the model but it does require us to have a committee and meet regularly I don't know people want it to do this [Music] um so what if Aaron and I we work on a couple of those questions and we'll get that to J bring that back okay can you send us this the one you wrote yes key wrote eqs in Middle School Rec I didn't like any of these [Music] references so is there a separate policy on health education or is it just the eqs it's just eqs okay yeah I would keep it more to eqs because that right but are
053we in compliance with the eqs right now easy oh really is it's [Music] foration providing like I said it's easy it's easy okay [Music] bringing that one back thanks for your work um all right C1 is next student freedom and full expression I have no changes to this it is pretty much exactly the same there's just one section it's a little bit beyond the um theba policy which is just providing on the top of the back page um the burden is on the administration to provide lawful justification without undo delay which I think seems very reasonable um so I would recommend no changes to that [Music] right Joanna me all right so um I don't know if they explain this to folks um but currently there is not a policy um for homelessness at Mr
054USD but there is a pretty extensive um homelessness procedures um which pretty much has most of the um aspects of the vsba uh with um except for some uh definitions out of definitions I would say um but otherwise um it's pretty similar um I would I think I like the model policy um the structure of it the format and structure of it better than the um procedure uh the procedures are okay as procedures but when you're talking about a policy I think I'd like it to read more broadly rather than as specific and subjective um so I would use the model policy um the one thing that it says here says the district um yeah we doign liaison for students in homeless situations to carry out duties as required by law do you like I
055know that that's been in other policies do you want that to say in each of our five schools I understand that the district encompasses that but it would be a different person in each school at least that's how you have it in the procedures so we have a we have a district blaz on and then there's people in each school that check in with the district charge districtwide to make sure everything is fall so just leave it I would just leave it way it is is it BBA okay all yeah um yeah so just adding in uh the definitions of enroll and enrollment adding in definition of unaccompanied youth adding the definition of school of origin um Homeless was clearly defined yeah and um the only other thing that I didn't quite get so like
056in the BBA policy it has administrative responsibilities and then um if you look at the procedures they're kind of uh encompassed by supplemental Services Privacy Information and revocation of status um but I think there's more so I again I would I would utilize the uh theba policy I just think that it's easier it's more delineated and just easier to read um and then just personalize it a little bit more and if you want to I I like the idea of I guess we can't though you know in the policy you don't want to write down like the people just because it changes from year to year but I would like to have that be publicized somewhere just so it's easily great different just curious uh procedurally a different process to move a procedure to a
057policy it's essentially establishing the board has to adopt if you're gonna make something policy that was per previously a procedure Jo's right just right on like it's got to go to the board right Absol come through here or through any other act but the board's got to be want to codify it the procedure is something that's left up to the super right so you would once the board establishes a policy [Music] fored lots of well a creation even so I'll give that to them is everyone that is the is the will of the community to to use the vsba policy use the vsba policy and like I can just give the the suggestions but yeah I mean it's pretty much using I think that it's cleaner and then they can go back and rewrite whatever
058you want to he can get less specific and or I should say that less Broad and more specific for you know each of the schools and just like when we're talking about procedures also um when we are saying goodbye to students that are I just love that to be in here too so um schools have a um streamlined procedure of what they do when they are transitioning homeless students out to other schools as well that's just good information to make sure that goes with the student and what we do you know one thing that was interesting was like the pro um prohibition against um it says mrusd ensures that students who qualify for mckin VTO was in the um Mr Mr USB but in the vsba it just talked about right not talking about the
059like yeah [Music] qu do we want to V on [Music] that all those in favor those [Music] post and last one for today C20 student contuct and discipline the maple run is pretty much the same as theba see [Music] I recommend keeping [Music] ites we see the discipline plan that over overall discipline plan is there an actual there's one in handbooks one things we got somewhat I want to use those words that way schools Work summer ADR already [Music] pretty much exactly as so is everyone in favor of keeping it [Music] this is there anything that comes to you often that you wish you had encompassed within the policy or or for the discipline well I think the thing we're doing is we're really rewriting the discipline getting a common code of [Music] conduct but
060what's being done right now is doing that PLS and so we actually a group of teachers and administrators have gone to a couple of workshops about how do you BL the two together so that's the work I'm really excited to see that come so that we have that integrated that there's natural consequences along would that influence I don't think so I think that it would stay the way it is I think that's really influencing the procedures and influencing our hand a lot so because usually whenever we have something discipline um the biggest education I go through is working with parents about a lot of times they haven't really read so it's like I just want to yeah know they're like oh it's happened without us notify sorry it was here in the handbook we try
061to educate everyone as best we can and that most common thing happens in high school because it just just is what it is Le it's been normal 30 years in education High schooles get Tod school as well language and I know you said you're working on the summer I'm just curious the language in terms of expectations for behaviors and the plan for if someone is not following them are those is the hope that that language would be consistent across all the prades and the high school and the high school actually we want to get it the language um actually our John braco our assistant principal for BFA he's like I want this the same because just this p year what's happened for some of the language to be the same he's like I'm noticing a
062difference one like oh yeah so I guess my question though goes back to the policy again just in terms of um why wouldn't we incorporate it into the policy to strengthen the commitment to it because initiatives come and go and build this initiatives stay Beyond you so it's not the initiative to me that the coming going of initiative it's that the alignment there so that there's a prek-12 like if there were anything I might add in here but I want to talk to the principles as well as like we want to Cy policy that we want across all all schools it's like the difference between policy and procedure I want the policy to say hey that alignment is really important and that use Comm vocabulary yes I guess what I'm saying is our commitment to
063restorative justice could be part of a policy just saying that that is the philosophy that we're using is what I'm saying to to make that stay okay past you leaving right because then somebody else comes in and says Ah I hate restorative justice I don't want to you know continue with this anymore I want to go back to CH whatever um [Music] can I think on that yeah question um I mean when I read about the weapon being able capable of producing death or Serious bodly injury like should that just be part of the gun policy because it seems like you have a weapon at school um it is get expell yeah like it just seems like well it's got to it's got to transcend really because a weapon could be more than just a
064gun so it's in the gun right it's in the in the Firearms excuse me but then it has to transcend to code Code of Conduct because it a weapon is any and that's what I liked about actually what I read here because it made me think of the drug alcohol drug and Other Drug yeah Alcohol and Other Drugs policy where it said hold on second when used as it is intended to be used right so it's the intention so a weapon could be a pencil a weapon could be a pair of scissors aapon a baseball back right could be somebody's phone you know like if it's if it's used to harm someone else [Music] yeah and that's what I meant about the getting ey part right it's in intended to use to change somebody's chemical
065balance gu the language is stronger in the gun if you have a gun you're automatically going the board yeah want that interpretation um board I served they literally have like a length of a knife PL and so if it was a jack that came that had over a 2inch blade you were going to the board after one year having like sixs change that I remember a little bit more vag and it was like yeah let's make that a little more we can handle that so it's like it's it's you want some of that bigness in here because it's it's just where you were up intent when the kid who brought the knife because they were going to out education after school and haven't come in their backpack yeah or they were away they were on
066vacation all week and they carry their ja knife on day you know and then all of a sudden it was in their car heart jacket wa to school and they had it on they didn't realize or the high school kid who after school job did put on car again the day before and there was a box yeah I think okay when used as intended to be used I think I read that as like when used with intention to to harm yeah Aon right and [Music] that's I I would have like little kids sometimes take a powdered candy and put it on the table and chop it up and you know and so it was clearly just education that you were doing you know young people you didn't need to suspend them or anything like that
067but it's just about that they could be using other substances as the intention is to right yeah I just want to make sure if someone's coming with the intention to harm yes so let me ask I want to ask our SEO group and our RP group about the back I mean to me that's like part of this you know part of our intention around policies so we can sustain things that we really like and want to but then also don't want to be linked to it forever I guess at the same time so I I appreciate both [Music] perspectives Maran do you want to come back review the ones they review here we're at 420 you want to try toide some more up you want me to try do that to your email well we
068can bring back that need rehashing and then let's KCK out a few more yeah we had English on I got to ask a question uh the attorney um there was something there notes on that uh and then we had the wellness one and then to ask the rp1 about for [Music] discipline and then about to could tobacco be there with alcohol and drugs not nicotine yeah nicotine and or if you have a old tobacco policy if you want to update that one you want to do it you fine but it's got to be no longer just toac I on Tobacco [Music] one we to work on the student policies first right okay so we'd be looking at the next chunk poliy so we can either go to the next the ones that haven't been um
069that aren't required that we have there or we could look at you know we started with this was Bill suggestion we started with the required ones in the student section so that's that's we did so we made it through all of the requir perfect yeah so Bill there is a c30p there's a student medication one right um it's a procedure yeah oh c51 another weapons policy yes oh see that that's another [Music] yeah like it's complicated huh that got got some tripped up before yes it has [Music] okay so maybe we should look to see if there's the ones that we already did maybe we should look to see if there's others that are similar or that could potentially be linked one of the ones I took out appear because it's so statutorily governed is
070hhp that e harassment bully procedures because [Music] that c21 [Music] and that should go along with the alcohol and drug one and the [Music] weapons c21 and c51 we'll look at next time okay [Music] C3 too oh it's just a procedure for yeah I think that might be I don't know if we can reorganize that I know if you remember that doation does that go with the alcohol and drugs I can look at that yeah well I get that they want to have a procedure that you know bring it into the nurse you know that's that's great but maybe just I'll go back I just want to make sure that it's in there discussed C2 um I think you could look at those I think um you definitely could look at C12 and c14 I
071think I know C12 is we have a really tight procedure from the Feds that we have to do for title n um and c I would think c14 is the same way this Federal agreements protocol that we have to adopt this procedure but we definitely can get you this to take so I'm hearing is so C12 yeah c14 c21 and C 51 yeah [Music] sorry yeah he [Music] said restri restri it keeps yeah it just changed recently like six weeks so um we should just just it sort of reverted back to some pieces and so my guess is and I don't know like having this policy laid out in front of us like my guess is that it's probably more consistent with what it reverted back to it wasn't a huge change but [Music] um
072so are we saying those four on here I think three [Music] 14 21 and 51 I wonder if it's worth just having on 12 back I'm just curious if there's although I'll that yeah um I would take the toac one too we wanted to add that to the list there's not a letter number for it on here but can find it online yeah I think it's under personel that's by the toac [Music] yeah7 is that the one E7 just redone I'm just curious poliy that's the thing though it's like I'm just curious is it because it's a policy directed at adults it's because it's it's about the way bet you the way that policy is more like a work a work policy yeah that's what I'm wondering so that's but it really that's why the
073drug and alcohol one should Encompass yeah and I I believe I could be wrong but I thought it went I thought the model was to not have it itemized out anymore but I don't think I brought it with me but I thought there were things in there that would student use in the back oh it probably does but it definitely leans towards adult use and having on ground [Music] right oh yeah [Music] Burlington School District even up to 2023 has tobacco prohibition and really good do they have that as yes so they one is separate from there yeah and this one GBC GBC uh and it's really just about Prohibition meaning um not allowed to have it anywhere on campus it does Define what school grounds are property and Facilities which would include [Music] but
074it's it's all going to get updated now to n not just right toac and it used to be separate but you're looking at Burlington right now I I tried to look [Music] atda toac and Nico they do spell it [Music] so maybe I don't know what we decided on C2 but maybe not send it to the board we going to send that to the board C2 [Music] alcohol and drugs so I have recorded that the will of the committee was to move their vision for okay so maybe well everybody agrees maybe not send that one so we can look at the toac we want to [Music] comine so that can be re reviewed and then is there like another set of policies we're going to look at so we could just up for next yeah
075I think that's what we there's a handful in this section that we still want need to review and then 14 we said we needed to still review yeah um C2 c21 c51 and c51 just those up and few more sorry take [Music] C4 for it I can take I can take [Music] C4 you're going to do yes aesome [Music] so I'll do c51 since I did firearms and then I was just trying to figure out the next section to jump to I feel like the instruction one is really big but I feel like the educ those are all education qual there's some education quality standard stuff in there around proficiency based graduation requirements and average class size which is topic right now so I'm almost wondering if we want to delay that a little bit
076as the next section just to see if the legisl with that so which I'm not sure that they will but they are indicating that they might list um before the end of this session did relation who's doing c14 you're doing and you're doing 20 51 I'm doing 51 and what about C12 I think we were waiting for we'll wait to hear clarification okay and [Music] then does it make sense for and then you're going to do tobacco tobacco is there one from another [Music] section the community I mean the community relations E1 one part AAL involvement we just just just did that are we just going like is there a an order structure to what we're going to do you said you wanted to do students first I wasn't here last week or last time
077yeah it is all finished yeah yeah the last three were those that we were [Music] there um personel we were originally just doing the ones that w't updated for a [Music] while just did just feel like I would be interested to know can I just ask the question Erin in terms of like you know looking at the all of the ones under student right like we didn't have a policy for homelessness are all of are you getting how do we know that we've hit all the ones that we should have I guess it's my question gone through and compared okay so you were the one that was able to recognize that we didn't have a homeless policy okay so we're not missing we're not letting thank you just wanted to that was the only required
078one that we awesome thank you so that's the that's the the rule that you're using required yes yeah because the VBA um breaks it out into required recommended um I think consider and so if we were looking at it from an equity lens in terms of recommended Equity policies or policies that would support Equity within the do you know um and I know you don't know off hand but would there be a way to look through to see if there's anything else that we could consider whether or not we wanted to have um just or just to be aware of the recommended list you like a comparison of what like BBA recommends and then what we have and what we don't have I can do it too I just want to look I'm just interested
079you know yeah that's all but I don't want to you know so I can basically just go on the BBA and then I look at the recommend policies and then I can just compare it to I can show you where I can navigate for you cool just to know cool thank you so the only the only question we have was C12 then Title 9 is that something that I don't think there's much there that's going to be that you're going to be able to change because of what our federal law is that with that with title n so and it's all right now the r the rum is all over the place the actual Title 9 policy and procedure are very tight yeah is there another section you recommend move to so if you were
080after this um I need to yeah thanks Aon um I would probably be down in the um instruction place would be next because that's what's going to hit students the most instruction and then you have those first four that are yellow actually five is we did the class siiz one we just readed that as a that's why it's not yellow but that's required but you can see those that are required yeah we're just I was just noting that like you know some of those are again eqs related and the honestly the class siiz one wait to see what happens well we just did it here and St law in six months so we might not even need a policy right so but that's where I would go next is the instruction because this group talked
081about what impacts the students the most student policiy instructions be [Music] next just for clarification C4 c21 and c51 and then what so what I would suggest is that we do those we have we had three policies that we need to bring back that question yeah so that's three if we do c14 c21 and C5 and c51 now we're up to six and then if we brought those four that are highlighted that's 10 now we can get you all all that information okay and how you just you can we could parse them out if you wouldn't mind besides the three that we're bringing back that everyone was leading we could take the other um the other seven and just dist there's five of you just distribute those among yeah well Karen wanted to do C4
082Bill wanted to do 21 and Joanna wanted to do 51 great so we could take rest of us could take and Jess you were nicotine right I want to look at that okay so then we have four in the bottom in the instruction section we need to assign it right before special education well the responsible it's based graduation responsible Network Title One comparability and Amal dissection are the four required that happen Okay y okay [Music] take any of them [Music] is [Music] D3 just during I mean the internet Ed just during the school it's just during wild part of the school school [Music] activity we should give the students D1 would rip that maybe so should we just give um who has one right now from all the work from the bring back does everybody
083have one I don't you don't so I can I can take um D1 and D3 okay I think d1's going to be a large one think the dissection and the dissection and title one will be small really tiny yeah do section we'll [Music] do do you need me to do um you need to write in suggestions for the one or you just go with uh we [Music] just we have meting is sorry oh
