Board moves to waive second reading on new disruptive behavior policy tied to legislation, committee to develop building procedures
Summary
Policy committee recommended waiving the second reading for a new disruptive behavior policy (50311) that inserts recent legislative language into district policy; board members said this will trigger development of building‑level procedures using a checklist provided to administrators.
Members of the policy committee asked the board to waive the second reading and approve a new disruptive behavior policy, identified in the packet as policy 50311, saying the language mirrors recent legislation and ISB guidance.
A committee member said the policy is essentially the legislative language placed into district policy and that the district lacks a predecessor policy to replace. Once the board adopts the policy, administrators will use a checklist provided by the state association to write building‑level procedures required under the policy.
Committee members proposed waiving the second reading to ensure the district is compliant before the start of the school year and offered to convene a policy committee meeting in July if needed to make last‑minute changes. One board member referenced the need to balance compliance with additional discussion of regulation 50601 r1 raised earlier in public comment.
A motion to waive the second reading was made and seconded during the meeting. The transcript records the voice vote beginning but the final outcome is not captured in the provided excerpt.
Next steps: policy committee will meet with directors and administrators to draft building‑level procedures using the checklist and to finalize any remaining policy language; the record indicates the committee will expedite that work ahead of the school year.
