Meeting Minutes

Friday, June 13, 2008

Present: Tom Eismeier, Rebecca Millett, Alan Hawkins, Jeff Shedd, Steve Connolly, Trish Brigham

I. Old Business

A.The following policies will be sent forth for second reading with no changes:

JFABB- Foreign Exchange Student Program

JID- Students of Legal Age

JIH- Questioning and Searches of Students and JIH-R accompanying guidelines

JJIBB- Sportsmanship

B. JFAB- Admission of Non-resident Students

After reviewing current MSMA sample and comparing to ours, the Committee chose to retain our version as it is more straightforward and representative of current practice. This will be sent forth for first reading as is.

C. DF- Fundraising

The Committee reviewed several fundraising sample policies recently updated by MSMA: JJE- Student Fundraising and DDF- Student Activities Funds. The Committee opted to retain our current policy and its accompanying detailed guidelines, in its existing form. This policy was adopted in Jan. 2007

D.FF-Naming Rights

The School Board requested that this policy be reviewed in light of a recent request of signage on a field. The request came after the committee's agenda had been posted, so this will be reviewed at the next meeting ( September).

II. New Business

A. JB- Equal Education Opportunities

After reviewing this policy, the Committee is recommending its deletion. Its title does not reflect the content, which primarily deals with school to parent communication. Overall, we do not have many School Community Relations Policies ( K section) so we will do some research on what other area schools have for policies dealing with this particular topic.

B. JJB- School Sponsorship of Social Activities-

Put on hold for more information re: criteria for liability insurance coverage(Pauline); what defines a school sponsored event ( MSMA samples?)

C. JJH- Interrupted Study

Committee reviewed and made several edits. Policy will be sent forth for first reading with these proposed changes.

D. JK- Student Discipline

Committee reviewed this policy and will send forth for 1st reading with one minor change in legal references as indicated by D & W review.

E. JK- Corporal Punishment

Committee is recommending deletion, based on D & W recommendation, indicating that required content is included in JK.

F. JKD- Suspension of Students

Committee reviewed and will be sending forth for first reading with one proposed edit.

G. JKE- Expulsion of Students

This policy was reviewed, but will not be sent to first reading just yet. Alan will contact D & W regarding the paragraph which discusses the withdrawal of students prior to an expulsion hearing.

Meeting adjourned a 1:20PM. Next meeting will be scheduled in September.
