Dr. Brian Weaver will present as first-read information 46 revised policies from the NCSBA Fall 2021 Custom Policy Updates. Several updates contain only minor changes to wording, legal references, and/or cross references. Others have more notable changes (see below). Approval of the policies will be requested at the next regular meeting. Dr. Weaver will answer any questions you may have.
Policies related to the COVID-19 response:
- 1510/4200/7270, School Safety
- 5020, Visitors to the Schools
- 5030, Community Use of Facilities
- 6305, Safety and Student Transportation Services
- 4400, Attendance
Other notable revisions:
- 3225/4312/7320, Technology Responsible Use: Revised extensively to incorporate current technology-related practices. Policy 1310/4002, Parental Involvement, contains a conforming change.
- 3420, Student Promotion and Accountability: Session Law 2021-8 modified the legal requirements of the North Carolina Read to Achieve Program. Some of the requirements are effective this school year, while others take effect next school year.
- 4120, Domicile or Residence Requirements: Incorporates changes to the law related to residence requirements for, and remote enrollment of, students whose parents or guardians are on active military duty.
- 4150, Student Assignment: Revised extensively to address student assignments more comprehensively, better distinguish between reassignments and transfers (and the different reassignment/transfer rules applicable to categories of students), and simplify the process for requesting reassignment.
- 5022, Registered Sex Offenders: Revised to improve clarity and to more closely conform its prohibitions against sex offenders being present on school property to those set out in G.S. 14-208.18 (including incorporating recent changes to the statute). In light of court decisions in recent years that have found various provisions of states’ sex offender registration programs to be unconstitutional, boards are encouraged to consult with the board attorney before adopting prohibitions more stringent than those set forth in this policy.
- 5030, Community Use of Facilities: In addition to the COVID-19 changes noted above, this policy has been revised to provide clarification, improve organizational structure, and remove unnecessary language.
- 7262, Communicable Diseases – Employees: Revised to improve organizational structure and to conform to the recent update to policy 4230, Communicable Diseases – Students.
- 8305, Federal Grant Administration: Revised throughout to incorporate new rules from the 2020 amendment to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.
- Several policies have small conforming changes in response to recent U.S. Supreme Court and 4th Circuit decisions clarifying legal protections for LGBTQ individuals and legal prohibitions against gender-specific dress codes. These include: 1720/4030/7235, Title IX Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex; 4316, Student Dress Code; 7100, Recruitment and Selection of Personnel; and 7340, Employee Dress and Appearance.
A motion is in order to accept the 46 policies listed below as first-read information.
