STATEMENT TO BE READ In September of 2013, the Board of Education adopted a revision to Policy BBFA. The revisions were necessary to bring the policy into line with MSBA standard policies and to eliminate a conflict between Policy BBFA and two other district policies. However, that revision was adopted in closed session due to an error regarding appropriate procedure. There was no intent to avoid disclosure, as the revised policy was disclosed to the public by various methods immediately thereafter. Additionally, the Board received no comments regarding the content of the policy or the procedure by which it was adopted. However, the Board has recently become aware that a different procedure should have been used to adopt Policy BBFA, and that as a result, both the policy and a personnel decision related to the policy should be revisited. Therefore, the Board is going to reconsider the policy and the related decision this evening.
