Board takes first reading on optional standards for educator competence and ethics
Summary
Board held a first reading of optional standards for competent and ethical performance of educators and agreed to postpone final adoption pending further review of suggested edits and minutes verification.
Board members conducted a first reading of an optional policy containing standards for competent and ethical performance for educators and discussed whether to include a bracketed application section. Staff said the policy is optional but recommended including the definitions for future reference if needed.
"I was I did get approximately 18 emails today from Rick Steffy about the policy being ordered in itself," one staff member said, noting there may be minor revisions and some disconnects in email communication that warrant additional review before final adoption (SEG 1155—6161). The board agreed to treat the manual adoption as postponed until members have time to re-read edits and confirm bracketed sections against past minutes; staff agreed to return the revised manual at a later meeting for final adoption.
