Recommendation
The Superintendent recommends changes to Policy BH as presented and placement on the table for public review until the next regularly scheduled meeting.

Details

In September 2016 the State Board of Education (SBOE) amended Rule 160-5-1-.36 LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD GOVERNANCE  to reflect requirements from Senate Bill 275.  The rule prohibits a local board of education from adopting or following a code of ethics which prevents the board members from discussing freely the policies and actions of such board outside of a board meeting.   (Note Domain V: Board Meetings Numbers 7 and 8.)

As required by SBOE Rule 160-5-1-.36, within three months of adoption by the State Board of Education of the revised Model Code of Ethics each local board of education shall adopt a code of ethics that includes, at a minimum, such model code of ethics.
