District 191 places multiple routine policies on consent agenda after MSBA review

During the Feb. 17 meeting, committee members reviewed a set of policies that are part of the district’s regular three-year rotation or annual review and agreed to place them on the consent agenda for the next meeting.

Dr. Latanya Daniels told the committee that Policies 212 (School board member development), 213 (School board committees) and 214 (Out-of-state travel by school board members) had no recommended changes and are aligned with Minnesota School Boards Association (MSBA) model policy guidance. For Policies 404 (Employment background checks), 421 (Gifts to employees and school board members) and 424 (Licensed status), Stacy Solvine, executive director of administrative services, presented the items and stated the district and MSBA do not recommend changes at this time.

Stacy Solvine said of the items on rotation, "It's part of the 3 year rotation, for employment background checks, MSBA, Northern District are recommending any changes at this time." (transcript wording as spoken). Committee members accepted presenters' recommendations and agreed to include these items on the consent agenda at the next meeting.

Next steps: Policies 212, 213, 214, 404, 421 and 424 will appear on the consent agenda at the committee’s next meeting; no individual votes or amendments were recorded in the transcript.
