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. These policies have been reviewed for code alignment and VSBA model policy alignment, audited for equity, edited by a team of staff members, and reviewed by the SLT and the Board Policy Subcommittee.
These policies were presented for information at the February 8, 2024, School Board Meeting. After the presentation and based on staff and Board feedback, the proposed revisions to JED – Student Absences/Excuses/Dismissals were modified to permit up to 90 school days or the equivalent number of hours each year to participate in a High School to Work Partnership. This will permit students to spend up to ½ of their time in a partnership. This is a maximum, most students spend far less than this amount of time.

|
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.
