Action Items

Adopt Option Enrollment Standards for 2024-25
Rationale:
The recent legislative session resulted in the addition of a legal requirement for school boards to adopt a "resolution" and publish specific standards related to option enrollment. Further, the new law requires that Special Education capacity be determined on a case-by-case basis by the director of special education or designee. This is to be reviewed/adopted annually by October 15th.
Approving document 502.02R1 will serve as the Board's approved resolution for the 2024-25 school year related to limitations for the enrollment option program.

NASB Policy Updates - Second Reading
Rationale:
This is round 2 of recommended policy updates as provided by the NASB Policy Review Service, primarily due to LB705, the Christmas Tree Bill.
This round identifies a number of special education policies that require minor revision due to changes this past year. Sped Policies 612.01 - 612.20 all have minor revisions to bring them up to date. In addition, there are updates regarding policies for suspension/expulsion (505.03) and alternative education (605.02). Included are new policies addressing LB298 dyslexia requirements (605.15) for data and reporting as well as a new policy for artificial intelligence (604.16). This list of updates is fairly numerous. However, they address minor revisions in policy to address action by the past legislative session. NASB recommends all policy service subscribers adopt these updates.
