Board reviews edits to equal-opportunity and workday policies, and school budget allotment adjustments
Summary
Administration proposed updates to Policy 701 (equal opportunity) clarifying reasonable accommodations, a technical update to the employee workday policy aligning contract practice with policy, and consolidation of a $3.50 'interest and opportunities' allotment into the per-pupil allotment to speed school allotment distribution.
The administration presented several administrative policy updates. On equal opportunity employment (Policy 701), the administration said edits clarify the district’s responsibility to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities and to work with legal counsel to ensure compliance with federal and state law.
Officials also proposed a technical update to the employee workday policy to reflect current practice and contractual arrangements (length of the work year by job category and daily report/dismissal times). Separately, the business office recommended a revision to the school budget policy to remove a $3.50 'interest and opportunities' allotment and fold it into the general per-pupil allotment so schools can receive their allotments sooner.
