service, educational assistants, office personnel, maintenance, etc. (excluding Directors of said
departments) to receive a $3,000 pay increase on each individual's current wages in addition to
making medical benefits available and the Board will pay for the medical insurance for all

intended for the non-certified "base salary" schedule(s) to reflect the $3,000 increase one time
to begin July 1, 2023. This $3,000 "base schedule" change will remain at this amount until the
Board makes future changes. Let the minutes reflect the Board's motion intent of the May 8,

I wanted to take a few moments to express my gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity
that the Board of Education has provided me over the course of the last seven years.
During my time as Director of Schools, I have been blessed and fortunate to work with some of
the most dedicated, hard-working, and skilled educators in our profession. As a team, we have
made it our priority and mission to make educational decisions that are best for the students,
employees, and community that we serve.
We have been able to provide opportunities that were previously unavailable for our students
and families. Students in Hickman County can now obtain 24 hours of college credit during high
school and have the opportunity to pursue over 15 programs of study with industry credentials
before they graduate. We have renewed a sense of community and work ethic through our Give
Back initiatives and our work ethic distinction programs.
We have been able to make instructional shifts in our lower grades that have produced results
that place Hickman County in the top third of the state of Tennessee in third grade reading
results.
I am extremely proud of our educators, support staff, and community for working together to
maintain and provide consistency as we navigated the unknowns of a pandemic and provided
support for our students and their families.
From late night/early morning road condition checks to flooding to opening schools without
potable water, there was never a time where it was considered dull or boring.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of watching your children perform in plays, play in the
band, represent our schools on the athletic field, and applaud their awards and efforts. As I
complete the final board meeting of my tenure, I am grateful and thankful for the opportunity to
serve as a leader in this school system. It is a bittersweet moment for me, and I thank you from
the bottom of my heart for the support you have shown me.
I love Hickman County, and I wish our schools and community all of the best success in the
future.
Sincerely,
Michelle Gilbert

D. Scott Bennett
Capturing a vision
Mr. Bennett has represented school boards, other local
governments, police officers, and private employers for almost 30
years. After practicing in a regional litigation firm for most of his
career, Mr. Bennett concluded that clients need, and deserve, a
more personal connection with their attorneys. Ms. DeCamp and
he have built Bennett & DeCamp around the purpose of providing
high quality, personally focused legal representation to value
conscious community leaders and businesses.
Education law
Mr. Bennett focuses heavily on the needs of local school systems,
their employees, and students. His practice includes every
aspect of this diverse area, including employment, discrimination
and equity issues, contracts and vendor relations, policy
development, student discipline, bullying and harassment, risk
management, first amendment issues, tort claims, governance
issues, internal investigations, and the like.
Special education
Of course, special education is an aspect of education law. It is
so technical, however, that it merits its own emphasis. Mr.
Bennett supports local school systems and their teachers with
IDEA issues and Section 504/Title II compliance. He regularly
attends IEP team and 504 committee meetings to help educators
and parents understand and address the rights of students to a
free, appropriate public education. And if it ever becomes
necessary to go to due process, Mr. Bennett understands that
everyone is actually on the same side -- the side of the child.
Employment and civil rights
Mr. Bennett's representation of school boards and other local
governments actually grew out of his employment and civil rights
practice. He is experienced with state and federal employment
laws including the ADA, ADEA, FLSA, THRA, retaliation, Title VII,
workplace harassment, and wrongful discharge. He also handles
alleged constitutional violations brought under 42 USC 1983.
Training and staff development
As part of the Firm's effort to be invested in the operations of its
clients, Mr. Bennett devotes several weeks a year to in-service
training and staff development. Building upon more than 20
years' experience as a litigator, he coaches clients on best
practices, risk management, and legal compliance.

Director of Accountability
Hickman County Schools
115 Murphree Avenue
Centerville, Tennessee 37033
To: School Board Members
From: Misty Shelton
Date:July 2023
1st Reading:
Policy 1.102 - Board Members
Public Chapter 114 requires acceptance of GED, HiSET, and other types of high school equivalency
credentials approved by the State Board of Education.
Policy 1.106 = Code of Ethics
A new change to state law, Public Chapter 37, requires local Boards of Education to notify the
Tennessee Ethics Commission of the primary person responsible for administering and enforcing
their ethical standards. The Board has discretion as to implementation and could select a different
individual to be in charge of this reporting.
Policy 1.400 = School Board Meetings
Public Chapter 350 creates additional opportunities for board members to attend board meetings
electronically. Now, board members will be able to use this method of attendance for two additional
reasons: (1) if they are sick or in a period of convalescence on the advice of a healthcare
professional; and (2) due to inclement weather.
Policy 1.402 - Notification of Meetings & Policy 1.404 - Appeals to and Appearances Before
the Board- Already have in place in 1.404
State law, Public Chapter 300, now requires that notice of board meetings include information on
how individuals may provide public comment on agenda items. Additionally, each board meeting with
actionable items on the agenda is required to have a time dedicated to public comment. The law
allows Boards to establish reasonable restrictions on the length of the comment period, number of
speakers, and the length of time per speaker. This is an area in which Boards have significant
flexibility, and TSBA encourages modifying their model policy to meet local needs.
Policy 3.202 - Emergency Preparedness Plan
Policy 3.204 - Threat Assessment Team- Already have a policy on this
Policy 3.205 - Security
A new law that affects many aspects of school safety (Public Chapter 367) requires several policy
changes. This new legislation requires an armed intruder drill, an incident command drill, and an
emergency safety bus drill (policy 3.202) as well as a policy on threat assessment teams (policy
3.204). Many Boards currently maintain a policy on threat assessment teams, however, this new

The Hickman County School System does not discriminate in its educational programs, activities, or employment practices on the basis of race, sex, national
origin, religion, creed, age, marital status, or disability as required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. All necessary accommodations are made for equitable participation by constituents without regard to race, gender,
disability, economic status, or special needs as required by Section 427 of the General Education Provision Act & P.L. 107-110-NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND.
legislation requires that all Boards have a policy on this topic. There is also now a requirement for all
exterior doors to remain locked during school hours. For events occurring after school hours, Boards
can choose to create a local plan on how to admit community members. TSBA has updated model
policy 3.205 with information about the default practice found in the new legislation. Per state law,
this default practice will be in effect if the Board does not include an alternate local plan.
Policy 4.204 - Summer Instructional Programs
State Board of Education Policy 3.300 - Promotion and Retention was updated during the State
Board of Education's May meeting. This policy change requires local Boards of Education to include
additional information on make up days for summer programs in their policies.
Policy 4.300 - Extracurricular Activities
Policy 6.4001 - Student Surveys, Analyses, and Evaluations
Policy 6.402 - Physical Examinations and Immunizations
Public Chapter 353 includes new options for parents/guardians regarding certain extracurricular
activities and district actions. Specifically, this new law: (1) requires parents/guardians to opt-in
before their minor child joins a school club or participates in the activities of a club; (2) requires
parents/guardians to opt-in before a minor child participates in a non-instructional survey, analysis,
or evaluation; and (3) gives parents/guardians the ability to opt-out of health screenings conducted
as part of the coordinated school heath program.
Policy 4.403 - Library Materials
A new state law, Public Chapter 472, changes the process for school districts to respond to
challenged library materials. Previously, state law required that all complaints proceed to the Board
of Education. This new law includes flexibility for districts by permitting the Board to create a process
with several tiers of review. Please note that Boards may revise this model language to align with
local standards. TSBA encourages reaching out to their local board attorney if there are legal
concerns.
Policy 5.106 - Application and Employment
School districts are prohibited from hiring individuals on Tennessee's Department of Children's
Services list of perpetrators of child abuse and those on the registry of abuse of vulnerable persons
maintained by the Department of Health. A change to state law, Public Chapter 222, clarifies that
districts may not hire individuals who appear on similar lists maintained by other states.
Policy 5.119 - Employment of Retirees
Due to ongoing teacher shortages, the General Assembly passed Public Chapter 425 which allows
more flexibility in hiring retirees. This change allows retirees to work as substitutes beyond the
typical 120 day contract and permits retirees to serve as regular classroom teachers on an ongoing
basis.
Policy 5,302 - Sick Leave- HCSS does not operate a sick leave bank
For districts that operate sick leave banks, state law contains restrictions on how those days can be
used by employees. Public Chapter 151 adds additional options for employees by creating an option
to use this time to care for minor children in addition to being used for the employee's own illness.

Public Chapter 269 - Testing for Credit
931-729-3391 ext. 2226

fax 931-729-3834
The Hickman County School System does not discriminate in its educational programs, activities, or employment practices on the basis of race, sex, national
origin, religion, creed, age, marital status, or disability as required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. All necessary accommodations are made for equitable participation by constituents without regard to race, gender,
disability, economic status, or special needs as required by Section 427 of the General Education Provision Act & P.L. 107-110-NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND.
Policy 5.305 - Family Medical Leave
Public Chapter 399 gives employees who are required by law to hold a valid license of qualification
for employment and who have been employed with the school district for at least twelve consecutive
months six weeks of paid leave that can be used after the birth, stillbirth, or adoption of a newly
placed minor child. This leave must be used within twelve months of the qualifying event and does
not have to be used consecutively. Additionally, this leave counts towards federally granted leave
under the Family Medical Leave Act. TSBA has added a provision on this new option to their model
policy.
Policy 5.307 - Physical Assault Leave
A new state law, Public Chapter 343, clarifies that teachers will receive their full salary while on leave
due to a physical assault.
Policy 5.600 - Staff Rights & Responsibilities
Teachers are now required to report students who commit certain offenses on school property that
endanger the life, health, or safety of others per Public Chapter 153.
Policy 6,200 - Attendance
Boards can award credit to students who take released time courses pursuant to the conditions
outlined in their board policy. Previously, Boards could award one-half credit. Public Chapter 130
now allows Boards to offer one full credit for these courses. Please note that this is optional for
Boards.
Policy 6.202 - Home Schools
Public Chapter 114 requires the acceptance of GED, HiSET, and other types of high school
equivalency credentials approved by the State Board of Education. TSBA has updated their model
policy to include these other types of credentials in accordance with state law. Additionally, Public
Chapter 296 removes the requirement that parents of home school students provide proof of
immunizations.
Policy 6.300 (6.313 for HCSS) ⑉ Code of Conduct & Policy 6.309 - Zero Tolerance Offenses
A new zero tolerance offense has been added to state law. Public Chapter 299 adds threats of mass
violence to the list of offenses punishable by a one year expulsion.
Policy 6.314 - Corporal Punishment
Boards have discretion as to whether corporal punishment is used in the district. If this is a
disciplinary option, a new state law (Public Chapter 275) requires further actions be taken before
corporal punishment occurs.
Policy 6.319 - Alternative Education
Public Chapter 279 provides an additional statutory reason that a Director of Schools could require a
student to serve a suspension at home rather than on school property. This change to state law
allows the Director of Schools discretion if assigning the student to an alternative school or program
may endanger the safety of the students or staff.

Students will now be allowed to test out of certain courses per Public Chapter 269. For courses with
no end of course exam, high school students will be able to receive credit for the class if they earn a
qualifying score on the exam. The school district will determine the score needed for these exams.
This will be an option after the State Board of Education approves a list of eligible courses. We will
be monitoring forthcoming State Board action and update our model policy based on those changes.

Public Chapter 280 - PE Endorsement Exemption
Under this change to state law, the Commissioner has the authority to grant an endorsement
exemption for a teacher to teach a physical education class. In order to receive the exemption, the
Director of Schools must certify to the Commissioner that no qualified teacher is available to teach
the class.

Public Chapter 437 - Payroll Deductions
School districts may no longer deduct dues from an employee's paycheck on behalf of a professional
employees' organization per this new state law.

Public Chapter 438 - Implicit Bias Training
A change to state law, Public Chapter 438, prevents a school district from requiring employees to
complete or participate in implicit bias training. This new law also prohibits a school district from
taking an adverse employment action against an employee for failure to undergo such training.
View this Public Chapter 438 by clicking here.
Public Chapter 448 - Use of Pronouns
Public Chapter 448 clarifies that school district employees are not required to use a student's
preferred pronoun if it is inconsistent with the student's biological sex. Further, school districts are
not civilly liable if the employee refuses to use the preferred pronoun.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES
6
An eligible employee shall be granted, upon request, up to twelve (12) weeks unpaid leave during a fixed
7
calendar year for the following reasons:
8
1. the birth of a child;
9
2. the placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care;
10
3. a serious health condition of the employee that makes the employee unable to perform the essential
11
functions of his or her job position;
12
4. the care of a spouse, child, or parent of the employee who has a serious health condition; and
13
5. any qualifying circumstances arising out of the fact that a spouse, child, or parent of the employee is on
14
covered active duty, or has been notified of an impending call or order to covered active duty, in the
15
Armed Forces.
16
Granting of leave under this policy shall be subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of applicable
17
federal and state laws. An employee may substitute accrued paid leave for unpaid time. Use of accrued paid
18
leave shall run concurrently with and be counted toward the employee's total period of FMLA leave.
19
MATERNITY/PATERNITY LEAVE
20
1. Relationship between FMLA leave and Tennessee Maternity Act leave- FMLA leave shall run
21
concurrently with leave provided under the Tennessee Maternity Act, which affords eligible employees
22
leave for a period not to exceed four (4) months for the adoption, pregnancy, childbirth and nursing of a
23
newborn child. 3
24
2. Teachers' Leave- In accordance with state law, any teacher who goes on maternity or paternity
25
leave shall be allowed to use all or a portion of the teacher's accumulated sick or annual leave
26
for maternity leave purposes. In order to be eligible to use sick leave, written request of the
27
teacher accompanied by a statement from the teacher's physician verifying pregnancy shall be
28
submitted. Upon verification by a written statement from an adoption agency or other entity
29
handling an adoption, a teacher may also be allowed to use accumulated leave for adoption of a
30
child. If both adoptive parents are teachers employed by the district, however, only one (1)
31
parent is entitled to use such leave.
4
32
3. Spouses who are both eligible employees of the school district are limited to a combined total of twelve
33
(12) workweeks of FMLA leave in a single twelve (12) month period if the leave is taken for birth and
34
care of a newborn child, for placement of a child for adoption or foster care, or to care for a parent who
35
has a serious health condition. Under certain circumstances, spouses who share leave for the birth or

reasons.
3
4. Paid Parental Leave - Under state law, an additional six (6) work weeks of paid leave is
4
available to eligible employees after a birth, stillbirth, or adoption of a newly placed minor
5
child. An eligible employee taking leave under this provision shall not be required to utilize any
6
other type of accrued leave during this period. Eligible employees include teachers, principals,
7
supervisors, or other individuals required by law to hold a valid license of qualification for
8
employment who have been employed with a school district full time for at least twelve (12)
9
consecutive months.
10
11
Employees shall provide notice to the school district thirty (30) days prior to the intended use
12
of the leave. If the employee learns about the need for leave less than thirty (30) days in
13
advance, the employee shall give notice as soon as reasonably possible in order to be eligible
14
for the paid leave. This paid leave does not need to be taken consecutively; however, the paid
15
leave shall be used within twelve (12) months of the qualifying event. The leave shall run
16
concurrently with FMLA leave. 6
17
LEAVE FOR A SERIOUS HEALTH CONDITION⁷
18
Eligible employees, upon request, shall be granted up to twelve (12) weeks of unpaid leave when he/she is
19
unable to work because of a serious health condition or to care for an immediate family member with a serious
20
health condition. Granting of such leave shall be subject to the provisions of applicable federal and state laws.
21
Employees shall contact Human Resources to determine if the reason for leave qualifies as Family and Medical
22
Leave. If the leave is foreseeable, the employee shall give thirty (30) days' notice. If the leave is not foreseeable,
23
the employee shall notify Human Resources as soon as practicable-generally, either the same or next business
24
day.
25
LEAVE FOR MILITARY FAMILY MEMBERS
26
1. Qualifying Exigency Leave⁸ - Eligible employees are entitled to up to twelve (12) workweeks of leave
27
because of any "qualifying exigency" arising out of the fact that the spouse, son, daughter, or parent of
28
the employee, as defined under the FMLA, is on active duty, or has been notified of an impending call
29
to active duty, or has been notified of an impended call to active duty status, in the Armed Forces.
30
Qualifying exigencies may include:
31
a. issues arising from the service member's short notice deployment;
32
b. military events and related activities (e.g. official ceremonies, support programs);
33
c. making or updating financial and legal arrangements, attending counseling;
34
d. taking up to fifteen (15) days leave to spend time with a covered service member who is on
35
short-term rest and recuperation leave during deployment; or

e. attending post-deployment activities.
37
38
2. Military Caregiver Leave⁹- An eligible employee who is the spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin
39
of a covered service member or covered veteran with a serious injury or illness is entitled to up to
40
twenty-six (26) workweeks of leave in a "single twelve (12) month period." A covered service member
41
is a current member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National Guard or Reserves, who
42
is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy, is otherwise in out-patient status, or is
43
otherwise on the temporary disability retired list, for a serious injury or illness.
44
Page 2 of 5
Family and Medical Leave
5.305
1
A covered veteran is an individual who was a member of the Armed Forces at any time during the
2
period of five (5) years preceding the date of the medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy that has a
3
serious injury or illness who is currently receiving medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy.
4
5
The calculation of this 5-year period shall not include the interval of October 28, 2009 through March 8,
6
2013. The "single twelve (12) month period" for leave to military caregiver leave begins on the first
7
day the employee takes leave for this reason and ends twelve (12) months later. An eligible employee is
8
limited to a combined total of twenty-six (26) workweeks of leave to provide care for a covered service
9
member. The maximum of twenty-six (26) workweeks may include no more than twelve (12)
10
workweeks of leave that is taken for the birth and care of a newborn child, for placement of a child for
11
adoption or foster care, for care of a parent who has a serious health condition, or for the employee's
12
own serious health condition.
13
INTERMITTENT LEAVE¹
14
Eligible employees may take FMLA leave intermittently when medically necessary to care for a seriously ill
15
family member, or because of the employee's own serious health condition, or for the care for a newborn, a
16
newly adopted child, or a newly placed foster care child. When a licensed employee requests foreseeable leave
17
for planned medical treatment and the employee would be on leave for greater than 20% of the total number of
18
working days in the period during which the leave would extend, the school may require that such employee
19
elect either to take the leave for periods of a particular duration, not to exceed the duration of the planned
20
medical treatment or to transfer temporarily to an available alternative position offered by the school system for
21
which the employee is qualified, and that has equivalent pay and benefits and better accommodates recurring
22
periods of leave.
23

Students are expected to conform to the rules and regulations of the school system and apply
themselves to the learning process.
The Board delegates to the Director of Schools the responsibility of developing specific codes of
conduct which are appropriate for each level of school. 1 Codes of conduct for students in pre-
kindergarten or kindergarten shall utilize alternative disciplinary practices such as RTI² (Response to
Instruction and Intervention) and PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) framework.
Exclusionary discipline shall only be used as a measure of last resort. 2 The development of each code
shall involve principals and staff members of each level and shall be consistent with the relevant
policies as adopted by the Board. 3
The following levels of misbehavior and disciplinary procedures and options are standards designed to
protect all members of the educational community in the exercise of their rights and duties and to
maintain a safe learning environment where orderly learning is possible and encouraged. 4 These
misbehaviors apply to student conduct on school buses, on school property, and while students are on
school-sponsored outings. Staff members shall ensure that disciplinary measures are implemented in a
manner that: 5
1. Balances accountability with an understanding of traumatic behavior;
2. Teaches school and classroom rules while reinforcing that violent or abusive behavior is not
allowed at school;
3. Minimizes disruptions to education with an emphasis on positive behavioral supports and
behavioral intervention plans;
4. Creates consistent rules and consequences; and
5. Models respectful, non-violent relationships.
In order to ensure that these goals are accomplished, the school district shall utilize the following
trauma-informed discipline practices: restorative practices, RTI²B (Response to Instruction and
Intervention for Behavior), multi-tiered system of supports, behavior intervention plans, ACEs
(Adverse Childhood Experiences).

To: School Board Members
From: Misty Shelton
Date:July 2023
1st Reading:
Policy 1.102 - Board Members
Public Chapter 114 requires acceptance of GED, HiSET, and other types of high school equivalency
credentials approved by the State Board of Education.
Policy 1.106 = Code of Ethics
A new change to state law, Public Chapter 37, requires local Boards of Education to notify the
Tennessee Ethics Commission of the primary person responsible for administering and enforcing
their ethical standards. The Board has discretion as to implementation and could select a different
individual to be in charge of this reporting.
Policy 1.400 = School Board Meetings
Public Chapter 350 creates additional opportunities for board members to attend board meetings
electronically. Now, board members will be able to use this method of attendance for two additional
reasons: (1) if they are sick or in a period of convalescence on the advice of a healthcare
professional; and (2) due to inclement weather.
Policy 1.402 - Notification of Meetings & Policy 1.404 - Appeals to and Appearances Before
the Board- Already have in place in 1.404
State law, Public Chapter 300, now requires that notice of board meetings include information on
how individuals may provide public comment on agenda items. Additionally, each board meeting with
actionable items on the agenda is required to have a time dedicated to public comment. The law
allows Boards to establish reasonable restrictions on the length of the comment period, number of
speakers, and the length of time per speaker. This is an area in which Boards have significant
flexibility, and TSBA encourages modifying their model policy to meet local needs.
Policy 3.202 - Emergency Preparedness Plan
Policy 3.204 - Threat Assessment Team- Already have a policy on this
Policy 3.205 - Security
A new law that affects many aspects of school safety (Public Chapter 367) requires several policy
changes. This new legislation requires an armed intruder drill, an incident command drill, and an
emergency safety bus drill (policy 3.202) as well as a policy on threat assessment teams (policy
3.204). Many Boards currently maintain a policy on threat assessment teams, however, this new

The Hickman County School System does not discriminate in its educational programs, activities, or employment practices on the basis of race, sex, national
origin, religion, creed, age, marital status, or disability as required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. All necessary accommodations are made for equitable participation by constituents without regard to race, gender,
disability, economic status, or special needs as required by Section 427 of the General Education Provision Act & P.L. 107-110-NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND.
legislation requires that all Boards have a policy on this topic. There is also now a requirement for all
exterior doors to remain locked during school hours. For events occurring after school hours, Boards
can choose to create a local plan on how to admit community members. TSBA has updated model
policy 3.205 with information about the default practice found in the new legislation. Per state law,
this default practice will be in effect if the Board does not include an alternate local plan.
Policy 4.204 - Summer Instructional Programs
State Board of Education Policy 3.300 - Promotion and Retention was updated during the State
Board of Education's May meeting. This policy change requires local Boards of Education to include
additional information on make up days for summer programs in their policies.
Policy 4.300 - Extracurricular Activities
Policy 6.4001 - Student Surveys, Analyses, and Evaluations
Policy 6.402 - Physical Examinations and Immunizations
Public Chapter 353 includes new options for parents/guardians regarding certain extracurricular
activities and district actions. Specifically, this new law: (1) requires parents/guardians to opt-in
before their minor child joins a school club or participates in the activities of a club; (2) requires
parents/guardians to opt-in before a minor child participates in a non-instructional survey, analysis,
or evaluation; and (3) gives parents/guardians the ability to opt-out of health screenings conducted
as part of the coordinated school heath program.
Policy 4.403 - Library Materials
A new state law, Public Chapter 472, changes the process for school districts to respond to
challenged library materials. Previously, state law required that all complaints proceed to the Board
of Education. This new law includes flexibility for districts by permitting the Board to create a process
with several tiers of review. Please note that Boards may revise this model language to align with
local standards. TSBA encourages reaching out to their local board attorney if there are legal
concerns.
Policy 5.106 - Application and Employment
School districts are prohibited from hiring individuals on Tennessee's Department of Children's
Services list of perpetrators of child abuse and those on the registry of abuse of vulnerable persons
maintained by the Department of Health. A change to state law, Public Chapter 222, clarifies that
districts may not hire individuals who appear on similar lists maintained by other states.
Policy 5.119 - Employment of Retirees
Due to ongoing teacher shortages, the General Assembly passed Public Chapter 425 which allows
more flexibility in hiring retirees. This change allows retirees to work as substitutes beyond the
typical 120 day contract and permits retirees to serve as regular classroom teachers on an ongoing
basis.
Policy 5,302 - Sick Leave- HCSS does not operate a sick leave bank
For districts that operate sick leave banks, state law contains restrictions on how those days can be
used by employees. Public Chapter 151 adds additional options for employees by creating an option
to use this time to care for minor children in addition to being used for the employee's own illness.

instruction to students who have been suspended or expelled.
View this Public Chapter 111 by clicking here.
Public Chapter 165 - Transfer Students
Public Chapter 165 requires that school districts treat transfer students and home school students
who enroll or re-enroll in the district the same as other students. Specifically, this law addresses
student access to academic and arts programs, clubs, and events offered by the district.

disability, economic status, or special needs as required by Section 427 of the General Education Provision Act & P.L. 107-110-NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND.
Policy 5.305 - Family Medical Leave
Public Chapter 399 gives employees who are required by law to hold a valid license of qualification
for employment and who have been employed with the school district for at least twelve consecutive
months six weeks of paid leave that can be used after the birth, stillbirth, or adoption of a newly
placed minor child. This leave must be used within twelve months of the qualifying event and does
not have to be used consecutively. Additionally, this leave counts towards federally granted leave
under the Family Medical Leave Act. TSBA has added a provision on this new option to their model
policy.
Policy 5.307 - Physical Assault Leave
A new state law, Public Chapter 343, clarifies that teachers will receive their full salary while on leave
due to a physical assault.
Policy 5.600 - Staff Rights & Responsibilities
Teachers are now required to report students who commit certain offenses on school property that
endanger the life, health, or safety of others per Public Chapter 153.
Policy 6,200 - Attendance
Boards can award credit to students who take released time courses pursuant to the conditions
outlined in their board policy. Previously, Boards could award one-half credit. Public Chapter 130
now allows Boards to offer one full credit for these courses. Please note that this is optional for
Boards.
Policy 6.202 - Home Schools
Public Chapter 114 requires the acceptance of GED, HiSET, and other types of high school
equivalency credentials approved by the State Board of Education. TSBA has updated their model
policy to include these other types of credentials in accordance with state law. Additionally, Public
Chapter 296 removes the requirement that parents of home school students provide proof of
immunizations.
Policy 6.300 (6.313 for HCSS) ⑉ Code of Conduct & Policy 6.309 - Zero Tolerance Offenses
A new zero tolerance offense has been added to state law. Public Chapter 299 adds threats of mass
violence to the list of offenses punishable by a one year expulsion.
Policy 6.314 - Corporal Punishment
Boards have discretion as to whether corporal punishment is used in the district. If this is a
disciplinary option, a new state law (Public Chapter 275) requires further actions be taken before
corporal punishment occurs.
Policy 6.319 - Alternative Education
Public Chapter 279 provides an additional statutory reason that a Director of Schools could require a
student to serve a suspension at home rather than on school property. This change to state law
allows the Director of Schools discretion if assigning the student to an alternative school or program
may endanger the safety of the students or staff.

Students will now be allowed to test out of certain courses per Public Chapter 269. For courses with
no end of course exam, high school students will be able to receive credit for the class if they earn a
qualifying score on the exam. The school district will determine the score needed for these exams.
This will be an option after the State Board of Education approves a list of eligible courses. We will
be monitoring forthcoming State Board action and update our model policy based on those changes.

Director of Schools must certify to the Commissioner that no qualified teacher is available to teach
the class.

complete or participate in implicit bias training. This new law also prohibits a school district from
taking an adverse employment action against an employee for failure to undergo such training.

Public Chapter 448 - Use of Pronouns

PLACEMENT
9
The district and the child welfare agency shall determine whether placement in a particular school is in
10
a student's best interest. Other parties, including the student, foster parents, and biological parents (if
11
appropriate), shall be consulted. If the child has an IEP or a Section 504 plan, then the relevant school
12
staff members shall participate in the best interest decision process. This determination shall be made as
13
quickly as possible to prevent educational disruption.
14
Placement shall be determined based on the student's best interest. At all times, a strong presumption
15
that keeping the student in the school of origin is in the student's best interest shall be maintained. 2 For
16
the purposes of this policy, school of origin shall mean the school in which the student was enrolled,
17
including a preschool/pre-k program, at the time of placement in foster care or at the time of a placement
18
change if the student is already placed in foster care.³

When determining placement, student-centered factors including, but not limited to, the following shall
20
be considered:
21
1. Preferences of the student;
22
2. Preferences of the student's parent(s) or education decision maker(s);
23
3. The student's attachment to the school, including meaningful relationships with staff and peers;
24
4. Placement of the student's siblings;
25
5. Influence of the school climate on the student, including safety;
26
6. The availability and quality of the services in the school to meet the student's educational needs;
27
7. History of school transfers and how they have impacted the student;
28
8. How the length of the commute would impact the student;
29
9. Whether the student is receiving special education and related services, and if so, the availability
30
of those required services in a school other than the school of origin; and
31
10. Whether the student is an EL and is receiving language services, and, if so, the availability of
32
those required services in a school other than the school of origin.

3
provide a written explanation of the reasons for the determination. The written explanation shall include
4
a statement regarding the right to appeal the placement decision. If the placement decision is appealed,
5
the district shall refer the student to the district coordinator for children in foster care, who shall carry

arranged, and funded. This transportation will be provided for the duration of the student's time in
12
foster care.
13
The director of schools shall develop administrative procedures to provide for transportation of
14
students in foster care. 5 These procedures must ensure that:
15
1. Students in foster care needing transportation to their schools of origin will promptly receive
16
that transportation in a cost-effective manner and in accordance with federal law; and
17
2. If there are additional costs incurred in providing transportation to the school of origin, the
18
district will provide such transportation if:
19
a. the local child welfare agency agrees to reimburse the district for the cost of such
20
transportation;
21
b. the district agrees to pay for the cost; or
22
c. the district and local child welfare agency agree to share the cost.⁴
23
The district will ensure that a student in foster care, to include a student awaiting foster care placement,

25
resolved.
