Summary

Trustees reviewed and approved revisions removing a prior FD requirement that grandparents provide a substantial amount of after-school care (defined as three hours a day, five days a week) for out-of-district transfers; the superintendent may waive requirements in extenuating circumstances.

Staff explained revisions to FD local that align with earlier changes to FDA permitting grandparent transfers for students who live out of district. Presenter Patrick said the district is removing a prior requirement that a grandparent provide "substantial after-school care" defined in the previous affidavit as no fewer than three hours of direct care five days a week.

Patrick told trustees the superintendent will have authority to waive the requirement for extenuating circumstances. Trustees asked for a printed copy of the FD revisions; staff said they would provide the document and continue the discussion as needed.
