Committee moves policy change to full board; staff to check counsel and other districts
Summary
The committee moved and seconded a recommendation to forward the teleconference policy revision on ADA accommodations to the full school board; staff said they would check counsel guidance and look into other districts' practices before the next meeting.
Committee members moved and seconded a recommendation that the full school board approve revisions to policy B-11.6 that would permit remote participation for people with disabilities or their caregivers when technology allows.
The motion was made and seconded during the committee meeting; no formal roll-call vote on final adoption appears in the committee transcript. Committee staff said they had consulted counsel on the language and would "definitely check into that, prior to the next meeting," to learn whether other districts use similar rules. (Breaux)
Board members asked procedural questions about verification: committee members and staff agreed the requester must submit a written certification to the superintendent and that the superintendent does not make a medical determination. The committee directed staff to follow up with counsel and report back before the next meeting. (Corrales; Superintendent)
