Federal and state law requires that charter schools and school districts maintain comprehensive annual parent notifications and Board policies on a wide variety of issues that affect students and families. The topics addressed within these policies and notices range from health and safety to nondiscrimination, Title IX, Uniform Complaint Procedures, student records, and requirements relating to students who are in foster care, students experiencing homelessness, and students with disabilities. Maintaining legally compliant and comprehensive Board policies and annual notices is a critical tool to minimize liability, train staff on proper protocols, and strengthen the connection between families and the school.
In this session, we will explore and discuss:
- Why schools must maintain Board policies and annual notices.
- The required and recommended student services policies and annual notices.
- Recent changes in the law that impact student services policies and annual notices.
- Conducting an internal inventory of annual notices and policies.
- Tips and best practices for organizing policies, ensuring they are read, and keeping them updated.
