The Crisis Management and Response Plan becomes the Emergency Operations Plan, the District Threat Assessment Team becomes the District Safety and Emergency Team with revised membership, and “active shooter” becomes “active assailant.” It also classifies preparedness exercises as discussion-based or operations-based, revises the classroom door requirements, and replaces the Superintendent’s annual report with annual school and district safety questionnaires. • PROTECTION OF CRIMINAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION: File GBCA Effective: upon approval Needed to be revised to meet the states requirements for background checks. • SICK LEAVE: File GBRIB Effective: upon approval Act 539, the Teacher’s Shield Act, provides that sick leave resulting from an assault or battery may be used for medical treatment, psychological treatment, and physical rehabilitation. • CAMERAS IN SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSROOMS: File IDDFC Effective: upon approval Act 237 amends La. Rev. Stat. Ann. §17:1948 to require that both the superintendent and his designee, or two designees of the superintendent, be present at the initial viewing of a recording after a request has been made. It also requires any person who views a recording and suspects a violation of state or federal law to report the suspected violation to the appropriate law enforcement agency. • STUDENT SCHEDULES: File IEE Effective: upon approval Needed to be edited to match policy JB-Attendance, that was changed and adopted June 2024 in regards to seniors attending school part time. • CLASS RANKING AND HONOR GRADUATES: File IHC Effective: upon approval Selection of Valedictorian and salutatorian, Tops University Diploma (Honor Graduates) and Career Diploma Excellence removed.
