SMMUSD Revising and updating
district policies
SMMUSD is
embarking on a process of reviewing and updating all its policies,
administrative regulations, and related exhibits. The first of three
board meetings to review the new draft policies was held last night, May
21. The second meeting will be May 28 at
6:00pm at the district office. A third
meeting has yet to be scheduled.
It was
agreed that California School Boards Association Board (CSBA) policies would
serve as an example for that comparative review and in November a series of
workshops were conducted with appropriate staff and a consultant from CSBA to
review each District Policy, administrative regulation, and exhibit along side
those of CSBA and make recommended changes to the Board. Previous
revisions made to policies that reflect the specific interests of SMMUSD have
not been altered (as long as those revisions are compliant with state and
federal law).
The
following policies came forward for a first reading on May 14, 2009. They
will return for action at a future meeting. If members of the public
would like to comment on these policies, please contact Sarah Wahrenbrock in the Superintendent's Office at swahrenbrock@smmusd.org.
The public comment period for the 2000, 4000, and 9000 series will end on June
19, 2009.
