Background and Summary: Carolyn Swift, Director of Assessment and Accountability, and the Executive Leadership Team presented the 2024-2025 Policy Update on May 30, 2024. The Policy Update is now being presented for action.

Rachel Rasnake, Director of Student Services, updated Policy JED: Student absences/excuses/dismissals for Board information/action. Proposed changes to the policy are to align it with the recommended VSBA policy, remove redundancy within our current policy, and move procedural items to the regulations. The regulations have also been reviewed and changes to attendance procedures will be included in the MTSS presentation during items for discussion.

Virginia Code 22.1-253.13(7) requires that School Boards review all policies, at a minimum, every five years. In addition, the Board's policy service provider, The Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA), provides updates for consideration by the Board. Staff has reviewed a number of existing policies for revision, deletion, or review. A table summarizing the types of changes in each policy is attached.
