"OROS POLICY UPDATES"

If you use the OROS policy manual as your school district board policies then you will need to place the updates in the manual as described below.  If you use another set of policies as your school districts board policies and wish to use the OROS updates then you will need to determine where they need to go and you will probably need to change the numbering system to match your policies.


Legislation and Policy Updates 2011

Bills requiring policy changes are as follows (specific instructions in italics):

HB 1418, SB 59, SB 252 – Background Checks:  The law was amended to state that a district employee’s temporary employment pending a background check would automatically terminate after sixty days if the district does not receive the results of the check within that time period.  Also added to the law was the option of the district to not require a criminal history records check from a substitute who taught in the district the previous year.  Also added to the law was language allowing an exception on the background check for full-time teachers now applying to substitute teach in another district, if the teacher had been teaching in the five years immediately preceding application as a substitute, and if the teacher produces a criminal history record check completed within the preceding five years along with a letter that the teacher left the previous district in good standing.


Remove existing OROS policy number 412 and replace with the new one

 

  SB 346 – Retention for Reading Deficiency:  The law was amended to require a third-grader be retained if he/she is not reading at grade level.  A policy statement is required regarding mid-year promotion of a retained third-grader who has remedied the deficiency.


Remove existing OROS policy number 607 and replace with the new one

McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Policy and Procedures (federal law):  This information needs to be added into the OROS policy manual.
