Board hears first readings on graduation, testing and grant policies
Summary
The board considered first readings of several district policies — graduation requirements (Policy 613), district testing (Policy 614), budget establishment (Policy 701) and uniform grant guidance (Policy 721) — with questions noted for future revision; no actions were taken.
The New Prague Area Schools School Board received first readings of several policies and discussed clarifications to be addressed before final adoption.
Policy 613 (graduation requirements): a board member noted that a referenced paragraph (section 5(a)(1), paragraph k) no longer exists in statute; the board asked staff to identify the prior language and return with suggested language.
Policy 614 (school district testing plan and procedures): a board member asked about the removal of a retaliation clause and the legislative change behind that removal; staff said they would check and report back.
Policy 701 (establishment and adoption of the school district budget) and Policy 721 (uniform grant guidance) were presented; board members asked no substantive questions about Policy 701, and members agreed to send specific suggested edits via email for Policy 613.
All items were a first reading; no votes or final actions were taken. Staff will return revised policy language and clarifications at a future meeting.
