First Reading 4.19.22 / Second Reading 5.23.22 *Attached - Consolidated Rationale and Revision Policies document Revisions are recommended for the following, First Reading 4.19.22 / Second Reading 5.23.22 Our objective is to make the policy manual more user-friendly. As has been done in past few months, we are standardizing the review date, to read "annually". Secondly, we are taking out footnote numbers so as to assist with confusion resulting from constant state board rules and regulations, state board policies and statutory changes. 1. Revision Policy 3.201 Safety - Changes recommended to exclude superfluous language, to include statutory language regarding who is authorized to enter buses/property; updated legal references. 2. Revision Policy 3.202 Emergency Planning - Changes recommended to add statutory language regarding fire statute, and AED training subjects; updated legal references. 3. Revision Policy 3.600 Insurance Management - Changes recommended to add statutory language regarding PHI, removed superfluous language; updated legal references. 4. Revision Policy 4.615 Service Animals - Complete overhaul of this policy required to comply with existing law; updated legal references. 5. Revision Policy 5.304 Long - Term Leaves of Absence for Professional Personnel-Changes recommended to change "Director of Schools" to "Superintendent". 6. Revision Policy 5.307 Physical Assault Leave - Changes recommended to change "Director of Schools" to "GMSD Human Resources Department"; updated legal references. 7. Revision Policy 5.402 Bloodborne Pathogens - Previously named Hepatitis B (HBV)-Complete overhaul required to make this policy comply with legal requirements; updated legal references. 8. Revision Policy 5.601 Conflict of Interest - Changes recommended to make this policy be more practical for employees. 9. Revision Policy 5.602 Staff Time Schedules - Changes recommended to remove superfluous language and comply with legal requirements regarding employee agreement to earn compensatory time. Additionally, the policy will now make a clear statement regarding the inclusion of flex time for employees whose regular schedule is less than 40 hours per week (i.e. allowing flex time for those employees for hours worked between 35 and 40); updated legal references. The Board recommended the following edits after the discussion during the 4.12.22 Board Work Session, 1. Updated Revision Policy 5.304 Long-Term Leaves of Absence for Professional Personnel Page 1 / Line 18 - Change "the teacher" to "such employee" 2. Updated Revision Policy 5.602 Staff Time Schedules Page 1 / Line 9 - Change "their" to "his/her" Page 2 / Line 22 - Fix typo in "provided" |
