Committee suspends rules to advance competency-determination policy (IKF) and approves first reading
Summary
The committee voted to suspend rules to meet a December deadline and approved the first reading of policy IKF (competency determination), after staff described appeal options and the required submission to the state.
The school committee voted to suspend the rules to allow action on policy IKF (competency determination) so the district could meet a submission deadline at the end of the month. Chair sought a motion to suspend the 48-hour anticipation rule and the motion passed by roll call.
District staff (Katrina Jensen and Dr. Kelly Fay were referenced) explained the policy is the current-year submission requested by state education authorities and described options in the appeals process, including circumstances where a student could reattempt course work and reapply an appeal if an initial appeal is denied.
Mr. Fitzgerald moved the first reading of policy IKF; after brief clarification about the appeal process, the committee approved the policy’s first reading by roll call.
Outcome: Rules suspension and the first reading were approved to satisfy the required timeline for the competency-determination policy submission. Staff will proceed with the next steps required by the state.
