Burleson ISD proposes change to local appeal process for DAEP placements; board hears policy revision
Summary
The board reviewed a proposed revision to local policy FNG to move appeals for placement in the discipline alternative education program to policy FOC and the student code of conduct; the board discussed the change and the staff said a formal policy update was being presented for adoption.
District staff presented a proposed revision to local policy FNG that would change where appeals or grievances for certain student disciplinary placements are processed. The change would direct appeals concerning placement in the district's Discipline Alternative Education Program (DAEP) to follow policy FOC and the student code of conduct, rather than remaining under FNG.
Dr. Jimerson described the proposal as a clarification of the proper place for appeals and complaints and said the revised language would enumerate appeal processes in the student code of conduct and in policy FOC. The presentation identified a list of categories of appeals or grievances covered elsewhere in the policy packet and stated the board was being asked to adopt the change so the student code of conduct would contain the DAEP appeal process.
Board members did not take a final roll-call vote on the policy during the same agenda segment; the item was presented as a proposed revision for the policy docket and staff said they were asking the board to adopt the proposed change to move the DAEP appeal process into FOC and the student code of conduct. When a formal vote record appears in the minutes it will show whether the board adopted the revision.
Ending note: Staff said the formal policy language and redline will be presented and brought forward for the board's action as part of the policy adoption process; this agenda item served as the presentation and request to adopt the specific change described.
