The North Carolina School Boards Association has recently issued the Fall 2017 PLS Updates, including 43 policies with substantive revisions and 28 policies with minor technical revisions. Customized versions of the policies are being developed for review. In the meantime, one new policy is being recommended now. Policy 2670, Business Advisory Council, was developed to comply with a new statutory requirement for local boards to create a business advisory council to assist in providing CTE programming. The board is required to establish a policy on the appointment of members to the council, and the statute contains explicit requirements for who can/must serve on the council. The board must make the initial appointment of members to the council for terms beginning January 1, 2018. Policy 2670 is attached for your review.

A motion is in order to accept policy 2670 as first-read information.
