ISD 191 committee accepts MSBA update on mandated‑reporting policy referencing state statute
Summary
The committee reviewed MSBA’s edits to Policy 414 (mandated reporting of child neglect or abuse), which mainly update a statutory reference in section M; staff recommended no additional changes and the policy will be placed on first reading.
At the Sept. 16 ISD 191 School Board Policy Review Committee meeting, Stacy, a district staff presenter, reviewed changes to Policy 414, mandated reporting of child neglect or physical or sexual abuse. Stacy said the primary edit is an updated reference to state statute in section M based on MSBA’s model-policy revisions and that staff had no further recommendations. The committee recorded no substantive debate and accepted the change for placement on first reading.
Why it matters: Mandated‑reporting language ties district procedures to state law. The committee’s action updates the policy’s statutory reference to align with MSBA-recommended language, rather than changing reporting requirements themselves.
The committee did not record a formal roll-call vote during the meeting; staff indicated the item would be brought forward on first reading.
