C. POLICY REVISIONS
Background: The Board will review two new policy revisions. House Bill 922 requires school districts to adopt a Student Allergy Prevention and Response policy by July 1. District staff has reviewed two versions of this policy and administration recommends version 1 since epinephrine is kept on hand. Also due to a change in classified staff work calendars, some staff will work one-half day less next year. Due to this, the Board is being asked to revise the fringe benefit policy for eligibility to reflect this drop of one-half of a day.
D. CAREER LADDER PLAN MODIFICATION
Background: The Career Ladder Committee is requesting a revision to the Career Ladder Plan. The committee is recommending ten hours of District-approved professional development time to be included in the plan. Please find the current plan listed below along with proposed revisions.
