4.1.2.1. Introduction of proposed policies and revisions to existing policies.
Rationale:
Dawson County School District #20, Gothenburg Public Schools, participates in a policy update and revision process with the Perry Law Firm through Educational Service Unit #10. Mr. Perry typically sends proposed revisions upon completion of the legislative session so policies may or may not be available for the June meeting. According to the bylaws of the board, while policies may typically be introduced in one meeting and approved at a second meeting, policies may be approved in a single meeting if necessary. This may become applicable if policies are proposed which impact handbooks and are not received until after the June meeting.
