Agenda Item Summary:
|
The following policy revisions are proposed:
Policy BDB – Special School Board Meetings
Policy BDDE – Rules of Order and Bylaws
Regulation BDDH-R/KD-R: Procedures for Public Participation at Board Meetings
Newly Proposed ACPS policies:
DRAFT Policy GAAB – Telework
DRAFT GAAB-R – Telework Regulations
This new policy is being proposed to reflect the realities of working in the digital age, and to reflect that in certain limited circumstances, it is practical, efficient, and in the school division’s best interests to allow authorized employees to work from an alternate location. Such arrangements could be individually authorized by supervisors, according to the accompanying regulation’s standards and procedures, if they would not negatively impact the school division.
DRAFT Policy KBH- Website Accessibility
DRAFT KBH-R- Website Accessibility Regulations
This new Board policy and regulation are being proposed to comply with the higher accessibility standards for government websites that were expected to become effective in January, 2018, and to demonstrate ACPS’ commitment to maintaining a website that is accessible to all, including people with disabilities. Under Policy KBH and Regulation KBH-R, content posted on the ACPS website will meet the new standards, unless in a particular situation doing so would not be feasible, or would otherwise impose an undue burden.

Background:
|
The Code of Virginia § 22.1-253.13:7 requires that each local school board shall maintain and follow up-to-date policies, and that all policies shall be reviewed at least every five years and revised as needed. In addition, the Alexandria City School Board’s Policy BF provides that policies will be reviewed at least every three years and revised as needed.
|
|
Recommendation:
|
The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the proposed policy revisions.
