BOARD REPORTS AND REQUESTS

Steve Madsen said he is going to the bond seminar on Thursday, October 6^th in Olympia.  He said it was good information to pass on to the Ad Hoc committee members.

DISCUSSION ITEMS

Policy Revisions and New Policies
The Board discussed the policy revisions and new policies presented. Many of the changes are from statute changes from the last legislative session. Jim thought that the piece about candidate orientation should be left in Policy No. 1110 and then refer to the procedure.  Michael said that he would look at the wording in the policy and make a recommendation at the next meeting.

Steve asked if the Board was moving forward on advertising for his position. Jim said that he was waiting for a formal letter from Steve. Steve had emailed Jim, but will send a formal letter. 

The Board discussed Policy No. 3120. Jim said that it occurred to him that maybe we should provide a citizenship class in the District for adults who want to become citizens.  Michael said that that would better fit with LCC's mission.

Michael said that the big change to Policy No. 3413 was about the immunization waiver process.  It now makes it more of a challenge for parents. 

There were changes to several policies regarding the change to retire/rehire rules.  Michael said it only affects Chuck Anderson, Director of Transportation. They've already made the adjustments to his hours. Michael said the District policies on retire/rehire weren't clear in the past. Now the District has to rehire each year.

Attorney, Buzz Porter, recommended the district make language changes to Policy No. 5281 to reduce the opportunity to appeal to the Board to one time.  WSSDA also has recommended adding sexual misconduct to the list of reasons for discipline or discharge.

The remaining policies had changes due to the retire/rehire rules.

Procurement Card Reporting
Prior to the meeting Jim and Michael talked about procurement card reporting. Michael visited with Stephanie Patterson about the subject. She provided two different types of reports.  Tina said that she suggests that they continue with the process the way it is. The Board discussed the process and decided that the first report style that Michael provided would be the best. The report will be sent to Board members via email, so that they can review purchases that they have approved.
