Agenda Item Summary:

Statutory/Regulatory Policy Revisions:
State and federal statutory and regulatory changes impact School Board policies. As part of the Board’s continuing policy review, we recommend the following revisions to Policy IKF and Regulation IKF-R.
Policy IKF- Standards of Learning Assessments, Verified Units of Credit and Diploma Classifications
IKF-R- Standards of Learning Assessments, Verified Units of Credit and Diploma Classification Regulations
Best Practices/School Division-Initiated Policy Revisions:
The following proposed policy revisions are driven by best practices and the changing needs of the school division and community. (Hyperlinks to the current policies are included for reference.)
DRAFT Policy IKFD- Credit-by-Exam for World Languages
DRAFT IKFD-R- Credit-by-Exam for World Languages Regulations
(Orange text reflects feedback from the 4/12/18 Board Meeting.)
Since the Board’s initial review, the chart on p. 2 has been revised to correct a typo. Although some districts offer a Level V language course and an AP course, ACPS offers only the AP course. Level V course content is less rigorous and often does not prepare students for the AP exam, whereas an AP course covers AP thematic units and also extensive AP exam preparation. At the end of the AP course, students are expected to take the AP exam.
Regulation BBBB-R: Student Representatives to the School Board-Regulations and Application (Policy BBBB: Student Representatives to the School Board is included for review. Although no changes are proposed for this policy, staff requests that the Board affirm it, as it has not been reviewed since 2015.)
Policy EEBA – ACPS-Owned Vehicles
Regulation EEBA-R – Use of ACPS Vehicles Regulations
Policy EEAB – School Bus Scheduling and Routing
Policy EEA – Student Transportation Services
DRAFT Regulation EEA-R/EEAB-R – Student Transportation Services Regulations
