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.

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

HB 2854 – Substitute Teachers: The law was changed to allow a substitute to be in the classroom for up to 90 days (it had previously been 70). This has been changed in the OROS policy manual.

Remove existing OROS policy number 539 and replace with the new one.

SB 2199 – Felony Records Search: The law was changed to require a national criminal history records search to be made on all prospective employees, and to permit such a search to be made on any current employee. In the OROS manual, he title of the policy has been changed to “Criminal History Record Check” to reflect the change in the type of search, and the policy language has also been updated in the same fashion. The index has been changed to reflect the title change.

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

Remove existing OROS policy number 400 (table of contents) and replace with new one.

Remove existing OROS policy number 800 (index) and replace with new one.

Children’s Internet Protection Act (federal law): This isn’t new-new, but needs to be updated in the OROS policy manual to reflect some nitpicky stuff that is now required to be in writing for your e-rate people.

Remove existing OROS policy number 615 and replace with the new one.

Remove existing OROS policy number 615.R.3 and replace with the new one.
