Agenda Item Summary: Staff are proposing the revision of several policies and regulations. Summaries of the revision, including links to code changes where appropriate, are presented in the Details section. Red-line changes and comments are included in the draft policies. The policies undergoing a full revision have been reviewed for code alignment and VSBA model policy alignment, audited for equity, edited by a team of staff members, and reviewed by division counsel, the SLT, and the Board Policy Subcommittee. The policies being updated have been revised to reflect changes in code, changes in position titles, changes in facilities titles, and other changes previously approved by the Board. The updated policies have been reviewed by division counsel, the SLT, and the Board Policy Subcommittee. These revisions are proposed for adoption at the May 23, 2024, School Board Meeting.
Background: The proposed revisions are part of the Board’s ongoing work to provide ACPS with high-quality governance. ACPS has over 400 policies and regulations and has established the target of reviewing at least 100 policies and regulations each school year. Candidate policies for revision are drawn from code changes, changes in the VSBA model policies, the code requirement that policies are reviewed every 5 years, and policies and regulations that have been identified by the Board and/or staff for review. Drafts of proposed revisions are available for public review as part of the Policy Subcommittee, Board Information, and Board Action processes.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the information about the proposed policy revisions.
