Welcome to the first edition of Policy Spotlight, TASB Policy Service’s quarterly newsletter. Our aim is to provide a clear explanation of timely policy issues so you can better serve and support your staff, students, and community.
We welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions about this newsletter. Please share your thoughts with us at policy.service@tasb.org.
Excuse Me! Things You Should Know about Student Absences
Here’s what you need to know about absences for religious holidays, extracurricular competition, optional excused absences, and absences and credit or final grades.
Unsure about what an unassigned epinephrine auto-injector is, or confused about regulations for obtaining and administering them? TASB Policy Service has answers.
Now that the 87th legislative session is underway, learn how TASB is working to ensure district needs are heard and new law is implemented into policy.
Sample forms and regulations in the Regulations Resource Manual (RRM) have been updated for consistency with policy changes in Update 116. You’ll find the RRM in the Policy Service Resource Library on myTASB.
Policy Service is offering two prerecorded sessions at TASB’s virtual Governance Camp (March 3–6). The topics are Values Lead the Way: The Path from Principles to Policy and Demystifying Board Policy.
