July 26, 2024 at 4:00 PM - Board of Education Special Meeting

Rationale:  The Legislative Committee, in keeping with the provisions of Policy 8150, recommends approval of the attached Statement of Principles on School Funding.  The Purpose of the Statement of Principles is to provide the Board President, the Superintendent and the Administration with guidance during the special legislative session should issues arise prior to the next meeting of the Board of Education.  The Committee further recommends approval of the recommended positions on the attached summary of bills introduced to date during the special legislative session.  The summary has been prepared with the assistance of Kissel Kohout ES Associates and generally includes legislation which may affect the District.  The Committee continuously monitors legislative activity and may, from time to time, recommend that the Board take or update a position on a particular bill, resolution or amendment.  Committee recommendations typically include one of the following: Support, Oppose, or Monitor with Research.  In the absence of one of those recommendations, the Committee is recommending that the District take no position.  Given the fluid nature of the legislature, the Committee may need to present new bills, resolutions or amendments, including some that may not have appeared on the bill summary, to the Board for consideration.
