The board shall give notice of proposed policy changes or adoption of new policies by placing the item on the agenda of two board meetings. The proposed policy changes shall be distributed, and public comments may be allowed, at both meetings prior to final board action. However, if the motion to approve a policy is passed with the stipulation that the second reading is waived, the motion will become effective when passed in one meeting. Dispensing of the second reading of a policy will result only when there is a stated emergency (as determined by the Board), or because the policy change or adoption is considered routine.
The final action taken to adopt the proposed policy shall be approved by a simple majority vote of the board at two separate board meetings, except when the second reading is waived according to the above procedure. The policy will be effective on the later of the date of passage or the date stated in the motion.
The superintendent will notify all employees whenever revisions, additions or amendments are made. This notice procedure shall be required except for emergency situations, which shall be determined solely by the Board.
