Good afternoon. I'd like to call this meeting of the Student Behavior and Accountability Committee to order. I am Carrie LaBelle, the chair. And, um, here with me are Linda Deans and Sumara Rashid, do we have any public comment? No public comment. We'll move on to the minutes. Has everyone had an opportunity to go over the minutes from our last meeting in November? Good. Um, is there a motion to approve the meeting? I make minutes. I make a motion to approve the minutes. Thank you. Second? I second. Thank you, Dr. Dean.
Uh, the, there's a motion to approve the minutes from the last meeting as written. All those, and properly seconded. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. All those opposed Seeing no opposition. The motion passes. Today we have just one action item and that is, um, reviewing policy 82 20 student disciplinary consequences. Do we have any comments that we'd like to make about that? I do. Yes. I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you chair. Thank you chair. Um, my only concern was to ensure that cac, any type
of recommendations from, you know, of, of, of anyone, like from SAC and cac, be incorporated into this. Thank you. Okay. Any other comments? Um, and is this the policy that you had put out with the, the redline copy? So we had posted for you and for the public, um, the clean version of the policy and the redlined version of the policy. And after reviewing, um, some of the public comment
and the committee comment this morning, I, um, drafted some amendments for your consideration. And so you also have that I provided you this afternoon what looks like a clean copy with just three changes in it. That is for your consideration if you wish to make one or more of those amendments. Based on the feedback, Is there a desire among us to, um, amend this policy with one of the three, uh, recommendations here? Dr. Rashid?
Thank you Chair. Uh, I just wanna make sure that it is like the amendments are added in, um, and we wanna make sure that it's not in regulation and we want it in policy just to confirm. Yes. Um, just for the record, uh, chair, uh, if this were to be, um, in policy, what, just for the record, what section or what area would it be so that, um, CAC and other entities know where to look that up? It would be, excuse me, it would be in Section LI believe it starts on line 1 58.
Further, when a suspension and or expulsion is being contemplated, a student's IEP plan, section 5 0 4 plan and or functional behavior assessment, behavioral intervention plan shall be reviewed to ensure all accommodations and necessary support services are in place and being implemented with fidelity. If necessary, the student's IEP team, section 5 0 4, team or other team shall convene to make necessary changes to those plans. So those, that, that would be the, um, wording
of the portion that we're amending, adding. And chair, if I may, uh, the other two, um, listed amendments on the top will also be in policy, just for the record. Okay. Yeah. At the top. Yep. On, uh, Yes. So what these amendments do is there are amendments to the policy. So we had the policy that went out for public view. Um, in reviewing, um, the comment that came back, I took, uh, some of that feedback and anticipated that you may wish to make some of those amendments and it is amending the policy.
Okay. Thank you Ms. Galen. Thank you, chair. Okay. So do we want to amend lines? I believe it's 45 and 46 to read. The superintendent or superintendent's designee finds aggravating circumstances, which in the Virginia Department of Education, vdo VDOE, superintendent's memo, uh, number 2 91 dash 18 are defined to meet that. Um, and then add all of the BDOE superintendent's. Memo to the list of cross references on page five.
And the other one that we haven't read yet, concerns line 68 and 69, we would like to remove in line 68, starting in 68 and terminating on line 69 in accordance with the applicable school board policy. Those words are unnecessary as this is a school board policy. Are those, uh, amendments that we wish to make That's be Turning blue? Hello? I Dunno, I think the battery's going down. Thank you. Chair. Um, yes, uh, I, I, I dunno if
that's a motion for was Well, we need to make a motion to accept the three amendments that we just spoke about. Yes. I, uh, agree with what you just said. I'm in accordance with that, along with the section second portion of that, item number two as well. All righty. There's motion on the floor. Is there a second? Second. All in favor of adding these, uh, amendments to the clean copy of policy 82 20. Say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. All opposed. Seeing no opposition. The motion passes. Um,
are there any new information items that we wish to bring forward Before we get there? Or if I could just for for my own clarification as I understand it, um, the motion is to make all three changes Of the changes. Mm-hmm. Um, as written? As written, yes. Okay. Thank you. Great. Is there any more in, are there any information items to bring up No. From her? I, no. Alright. Any new business?
I have no Business. That's all I wanted to say. Here. Here's my microphone. I Have no business. Thank you. Chair. Madam Chair. Yes, Dr. Dean. I had indicated that there might be benefit to have the, a presentation about the alternative education program Mm-hmm. Given as an information item to the full board. I think that you and I are always over there visiting. Yeah. But I'm not sure that the whole, the, all the members of the board are, and it's, it's, um, what is the word? Ance is very different.
It is, I mean, you can feel the structure, you can feel the, the, the respect, Kindness and respect The respect that is, that is given and received. And I just think that a presentation to the full board would be beneficial. It's been in existence now almost two years. Mm-hmm. And, and, and the full board. Everybody has not been over there. Some people have, but if you, if you don't, if you go and stay just a few minutes, you don't get the,
I went and stayed the whole day. And it's, it's, it's totally different. It Is. And it's what it needs to be. I'm not saying it's different. Yeah. Um, Here we can share. We've done this before. Okay. Thank You. Um, I had no new business, but my only business was for Dr. Dean's because it's her last time here. Yeah. And just to thank her for everything. Yes. Thank you Dr. Deans for all that You do. I think as a committee, we all are very thankful for you and your input in all the work you've done. And now going back to your suggestion,
So if I come as a public speaker next month, it'll be okay. Right? Will you bring chocolate? Will you bring chocolate is the big question. No, no. I, I, you know, your input has been invaluable, um, over these past two years and we really do appreciate you and I know, uh, Dana and Jasmine, even with the short time she's been here, would would agree with me and obviously Dr. Rashid and I really value your time, your effort, and your person.
Yes. And I would add to that first, um, that I did bring it to the attention of Ray Mitchell and the executive principal of our alternative programs that you were interested, um, in having a presentation to the full board so they're aware of that. I guess there is a process that has to occur for that to happen, but also we, um, have really enjoyed working with you. It has been such an honor and such a pleasure, um, to have someone with your,
um, expertise and somebody who's so willing to share that expertise, not only in these public sessions, but also in those meetings with our family and our kids. And I know that when you speak to families and kids, um, it comes from the heart. And I know that they can tell that that's where it is coming from. And I know that they can also tell that those words are spoken by a career educator. And so we wanna thank you, um, for everything you've done as part of this committee and of course as part of the larger board.
So we have some flowers for you and a little card again. Jasmine gets the credit. She has excellent taste. It is nice. So, so Jasmine, We still have to adjourn. I'm sorry. Um, Ms. Scanlon, One thing, you made the amendment past the amendments, um, for those three sections, but I don't believe there was an amendment to send this to the full board for it's consideration. Well, We need to do that. Is there a motion to send this policy to the full board for consideration? So moved. Is there a second? Seconded.
The motion has been made. And second. All those in favor? The motion has been made and seconded. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Seeing no opposition. The motion will go forward to the full board on December 16th. Thank you also having no more business before us. I am going to adjourn the meeting at four 20.
