Northern Valley board rescinds certain KASB June policy updates, then approves August and December recommendations
Summary
The board voted to rescind June KASB policy updates for GAAC, GARIA, JGEC and JGECAA and readopt previous versions where appropriate, then approved KASB August and December policy updates as presented; several motions carried unanimously.
Members of the Northern Valley USD 212 Board of Trustees discussed district policy updates recommended by the Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB) and took formal actions in January.
The board voted to rescind the June 2024 KASB updates to policies GAAC, GARIA, JGEC and the addition of JGECAA, and to readopt previous versions of GAAC, GARIA and JGEC where appropriate. The motion was made by Shanna Hammond and seconded by Laquita Smith and carried by recorded vote (Yea:7, Nay:0). The rescission action aligns with KASB guidance noting uncertainty around implementation of the federal Title IX rule changes in Kansas earlier in 2024.
Separately, the board approved the August and December KASB policy updates as presented (motion made by Shanna Hammond, seconded by Laquita Smith; vote recorded Yea:7, Nay:0). The packet includes KASB explanatory materials referencing statutory changes such as SB 430 (Workers Compensation), SB 19 (cardiac emergency response plans), and numerous federal grant‑related policy updates.
The board’s actions were procedural policy decisions recorded in the board minutes. The packet recommends members direct questions about KASB policy content to Leslie Garner, KASB Policy Specialist/Legal Coordinator.
