Gap Analysis
We are seeking authorization to advertise policies as part of the rulemaking process for a minimum of 28 days. Once this time period passes the policies will be brought back before the Board for formal adoption. The proposed policies were discussed at the School Board Workshop on November 28, 2023 with no objection to any of the language by Board members. The attached policies are drafts of those discussed policies and the changes that have been made.
Per F.S. 120.54, a notice of proposed rule is required to be published for Board policy changes. In accordance with our Interlocal Agreement with Sarasota County, approved by our Board on October 17, 2023 and the Sarasota County Board of County Commissioners on November 14, 2023, our notices for each policy will be published on the County’s Publicly Accessible website, with a link on our District website.
After expiration of the required 28-day advertisement period, the Board will be asked to formally adopt the revised policies at the January 16, 2024 Board Meeting
Previous Outcomes
These policy changes have been discussed with the Board during the November 28, 2023 School Board Workshop.
Expected Outcomes
Upon formal adoption of these policies after the required 28-day advertisement period and a final Board vote, appropriate corresponding updates will be made to district procedures and manuals to align daily operations with the Board policy.
Strategic Plan Goal
Recommendation
That the request to advertise Board Policies be approved as presented.
