The Spring 2020 Policies to Lead the Schools updates have been received from NCSBA. They include one new policy and 35 revised policies.* Many of the policies have only minor changes or technical revisions such as changes to cross-references, legal citations, web links or typographical errors. Others have more substantive changes. Please note the following updates:
- Policy 1320/3560, Title I Parent and Family Engagement: new requirements for parental notice under ESSA
- Policy 1610/7800, Professional and Staff Development: sexual abuse and sex trafficking training requirements
- NEW Policy 2127, Board Member Technology Use: Policy 2127 is recommended to address key issues that arise when board members use school-issued or personal technological resources, including privacy expectations for the use of school system resources; compliance with public records requirements when using personal devices for school system business; and guidelines for the use of social media.
- Policy 3410, Testing and Assessment Program: new legislation that directs boards to review local standardized testing
- Policy 3460, Graduation Requirements: changes to graduation requirements for social studies credits. Also includes local revisions due to the temporary suspension of the Career and College Readiness portfolio (shown in green)
- Policy 3620, Extracurricular Activities and Student Organizations: clarification of the board’s obligations to comply with the Equal Access Act. Also includes a local revision to athletic participation requirements for home school students (shown in green)

- Policy 4270/6145, Concussion and Head Injury: new rule from the NCHSAA regarding concussion education for student-athletes and their parents
- Policy 7900, Resignation: clarification of the notice period for resignation of classified employees
*Policy 4040/7310, Staff-Student Relations, which was originally included in the Spring PLS Updates, was also included in the Title IX updates. It has been removed from the Spring PLS section and included in the Title IX section.
