Agenda Items - 
Adoption of Minutes - November 4, 2021
Opening Remarks
Review of Policies
Policy 102 - Multiracial, Multicultural, and Gender Education (Eliminate)

The District is recommending Policy 102 for elimination because the content included in the policy is already captured in policies 105 (Curriculum Development), 107 (Adoption of Planned Instruction), 112 (Comprehensive School Counseling Program), and 304 (Employment of District Staff), among other policies. Thus, Policy 102 is duplicative. In the fall of next school year, the District will put forth an Equity Framework policy, which will also capture many of the ideas set forth in Policy 102.

Policy 103 - Nondiscrimination in School and Classroom Practices
Policy 104 - Nondiscrimination in Employment Practices (Eliminate)
The District is recommending Policy 104 for elimination because the information contained in the policy is already covered in Policy 348. Thus, Policy 104 is duplicative. Any unique information contained in Policy 104 is being incorporated into Policy 348, which is also being revised this policy cycle.
Policy 138 - English Language Development/Bilingual Education Program
Policy 139 - Supporting Language Accessibility for Parents and Guardians Whose Primary Language is Not English (NEW)
Policy 248 - Harassment and Discrimination - Students
Policy 313 - Evaluation of Professional Employees
N/A
Policy 348 - Harassment and Discrimination - Employees
Policy 701 - Facilities Planning (Eliminate)

The District is recommending policy 701 for elimination because the policy is duplicative of policy 714. Any unique information contained in policy 701 is being incorporated into policy 714, which is also being revised this policy cycle.

Policy 714 - Facilities Rightsizing
Policy 803 - School Calendar
