POLICY UPDATE NOW AVAILABLE ON-LINE

The most recent edition of AASB’s Policy Reference Manual Update is now available on-line on a subscription basis!   The update has been posted on the AASB Website  in a Word format that makes it quick and easy for you to download the instructions and policies and prepare them for your board to review, revise and adopt, according to the needs of your school district.

Currently 47 of Alaska’s 53 school districts utilize the AASB Policy System format.  Knowing that all school boards want to keep their manuals current with changes in laws and regulations, each of those 47 districts will be automatically invoiced for the update and a password will be issued upon payment. Districts may access the update sooner by simply contacting Laurie Miller (lmiller@aasb.org) with a purchase order number to receive the password right away.

Districts not currently using the AASB Policy System can also benefit by purchasing the Update package to either update the AASB Policy Reference Manual that you may already own, or simply to access current legal language to use in your own policy manual.  Please contact Laurie Miller at the e-mail address listed above.

Regular policy updating is essential to keeping the district in compliance with changes in state and federal law and avoiding the risk of legal exposure. Don’t let your Board find itself in the position of having policies that are out of date or simply wrong. 

This edition of the Update contains important changes to more than 20 policies and administrative regulations including:

• Interscholastic Competition; now in alignment with ASAA’s new rules and policy
• High School Graduation Qualifying Exam Remediation
• Individualized Education Program
• Procedural Safeguards and Complaints for Special Education
• School Board Elections
• School Board Visits to Schools.

AASB’s Policy Update is an affordable way to attain comprehensive and legally sound revisions to your manual. The cost of this current edition of the Policy Update is $995.
