Extended Day Program

Finding

During our testing of the Extended Day Program accounts receivable, we noted one instance where one family had an outstanding balance of $2,250 in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger, but upon further investigation, was determined to have paid in full. This discrepancy was believed to be the result of a duplicate entry of this family's account information in the subsidiary ledger. We also noted several instances where account balances could not be supported by invoices since it is not the District's practice to send out monthly invoices requesting payment.

Recommendation Regular Meeting December 20, 2012 Page 23 of 375

We suggest the District develop a better process to track all accounts receivable in the extended day program and analyze all current balances to determine if they should be pursued for collection or written off.

RESOLUTION: Sequestration

Amend Federal Budget Control Act of 2011

WHEREAS, a world class public education is essential for the future success of our nation and today's schoolchildren; and

WHEREAS, the Budget Control Act of 2011 includes a provision to impose $1.2 trillion in across-the-board budget cuts in almost all federal programs, including education, that would become effective January 2, 2013; and

WHEREAS, these across-the-board budget cuts, also known as "sequestration," would have a negative impact on education through a reduction in funds of 7.8 percent or more and could result in larger class sizes, fewer course offerings, possible four- day school weeks, loss of extracurricular activities, and teacher and staff lay-offs; and

WHEREAS, sequestration would affect almost every public school system in the nation and the millions of students educated through programs such as Title I grants for disadvantaged students, the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Regular Meeting December 20, 2012 Page 28 of 375

English Language Acquisition, Career and Technical Education, and 21st Century Community Learning Centers; and

WHEREAS, public schools nationwide would be negatively affected by an estimated $2.7 billion loss in just three programs alone - Title I grants, IDEA special education state grants and Head Start - that serve a combined total of 30.7 million children; and

WHEREAS, federal funding for K-12 programs was already reduced by more than $835 million in Fiscal Year 2011; and

WHEREAS, New Jersey already ranks last among the states in the percentage of school expenditures (3.1%) supported by the federal government; and

WHEREAS, in Fiscal Year 2013, New Jersey will lose more than $73 million in funding for elementary and secondary education programs, administered through the U.S. Department of Education, as well as over $11.7 million in Head Start funding; and

WHEREAS, with a state-imposed tax levy cap and limited growth in state aid, New Jersey local school districts have limited capacity to absorb cuts in funding resulting from sequestration.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Wayne Township Board of Education, in the County of Passaic, State of New Jersey urges Congress and the Administration to amend the Budget Control Act to mitigate the drastic cuts to education that would affect our students and communities, and to protect education as an investment critical to economic stability and American competitiveness.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be sent to Unites States Senator Robert Menendez, United States Senator Frank Lautenberg, U.S. Representative William Pascrell, State Senator Kevin J. O'Toole, Assembly Representative Scott T. Rumana, Assembly Representative David C. Russo, the New Jersey School Boards Association, and the National School Boards Association.

The district or consortium shall submit a written plan for the department's approval. In the event that joint sponsorship with a college or university cannot be achieved, the department may authorize the district or consortium to provide the formal instruction independently or in joint sponsorship with a non-collegiate entity.

The Wayne Board of Education shall admit to its schools, free of charge, persons over five and under twenty years of age, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-1, or such younger or older pupil as is otherwise entitled by law to a free public education.

Eligibility to Attend School

The Board shall admit pupils eligible to attend school free of charge that are domiciled within the district as defined in N.J.A.C. 6A:22-3.1 et seq.

The Board shall also admit any pupil that is kept in the home of a person other than the pupil’s parent or guardian where the person is domiciled in the school district and is supporting the pupil without remuneration as if the pupil were his or her own child in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:22-3.2 et seq. A pupil is only eligible to attend school in the district pursuant to this provision if the pupil’s parent or guardian files, together with documentation to support its validity, a sworn statement that he or she is not capable of supporting or providing care for the pupil due to family or economic hardship and the pupil is not residing with the other person solely for the purpose of receiving a free public education. In addition, the person keeping the pupil must file, if so required by the district, a sworn statement that he or she: is domiciled within the district; is supporting the child without remuneration and intends to do so for a time longer than the school term; will assume all personal obligations for the pupil relative to school requirements; and provides a copy of his or her lease if a tenant, or a sworn landlord’s statement if residing as a tenant without a written lease. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-1(c), any person who fraudulently allows a child of another person to use his or her residence and is not the primary financial supporter of that child; and any person who fraudulently claims to have given up custody of his or her child to a person in another district commits a disorderly persons offense.

A pupil is eligible to attend school free of charge pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-1(b) if the pupil is kept in the home of a person domiciled in the district, other than the parent or guardian, where the parent or guardian is a member of the New Jersey National Guard or the reserve component of the United States armed forces and has been ordered into active military service in time of war or national emergency. Eligibility under this provision shall cease at the end of the current school year upon the parent or guardian ’s return from active military duty.

A pupil is eligible to attend school free of charge pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-1(d) if the pupil’s parent or guardian temporarily resides within the district and elects to have the pupil attend school in the district of temporary residence, notwithstanding the existence of a domicile elsewhere. Where required by the district, the parent or guardian shall demonstrate that such temporary residence is not solely for purposes of a pupil attending school within the district of temporary residence. Where one of a pupil’s parents or guardians temporarily resides in the district while the other is domiciled or temporarily resides elsewhere, eligibility to attend school shall be determined in accordance with the criteria of N.J.A.C. 6A:22-3.1(a)1.i.

A pupil is eligible to attend school in the district free of charge:

1. If the pupil’s parent or guardian moves to another district as the result of being homeless, subject to the provisions of N.J.A.C. 6A:17-2 - Education of Homeless Children;

2. If the pupil is placed in the home of a district resident by court order (as defined in N.J.A.C. 6A:22-3.2(e) or by a society, agency, or institution pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-2;

3. If the pupil had previously resided in the district and if the parent or guardian is a member of the New Jersey National Guard or the United States reserves and has been ordered to active service in time of war or national emergency, resulting in the relocation of the pupil out of the district, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-3(b). The district shall not be obligated for transportation costs; and

4. If the pupil resides on federal property within the State pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-7.7 et seq.

The physical condition of an applicant’s housing, an applicant’s compliance with local housing ordinances, or terms of lease shall not affect eligibility to attend school.

A pupil’s immigration/visa status and their eligibility to attend school shall be in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:22-3.3(b) and Regulation 5111.

Proof of Eligibility

The district shall accept forms of documentation from persons attempting to demonstrate a pupil’s eligibility for enrollment in the district in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:22-3.4 et

seq. The district shall consider the totality of information and documentation offered by an applicant, and shall not deny enrollment based on failure to provide a particular form of documentation, or a particular subset of documents, without regard to other evidence presented.

The district shall not require or request any information or document protected from disclosure by law, or pertaining to criteria that are not a legitimate basis for determining eligibility to attend school. However, these protected documents or information, or pertinent parts thereof, may be voluntarily disclosed by the person(s) seeking enrollment in the district. However, the district may not, directly or indirectly, require or request such disclosure as an actual or implied condition of enrollment.

Initial Assessment and Enrollment

Registration, initial determinations of eligibility, and enrollment will be in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:22-4.1 et seq. The district shall use registration forms provided by the Commissioner of Education or locally developed forms that are consistent with the forms provided by the Commissioner. A district level school administrator designated by the Superintendent will be available, and clearly identified to applicants, to assist persons who are experiencing difficulties with the registration/enrollment process.

Initial determinations of eligibility shall be made upon presentation of an application for enrollment and enrollment shall take place immediately in all cases except those of clear, uncontested denials. Where an applicant has provided incomplete, unclear or questionable information, enrollment shall take place immediately, but the applicant will be placed on notice that removal will result if defects in the application are not corrected, or an appeal is not filed, in accordance with subsequent notice to be provided pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:22-4.2 et seq.

Where an applicant appears ineligible based on the information provided in the initial application, a preliminary written notice of ineligibility shall be provided, including an explanation of the right to appeal to the Commissioner of Education. Enrollment shall take place immediately if the applicant clearly indicates disagreement with the district’s determination and intent to appeal to the Commissioner. A pupil enrolled pursuant to this provision shall be notified that he or she will be removed, without a hearing before the Board, if no appeal is filed within the twenty-one day period established by N.J.S.A. 18A:38-1.

Where enrollment is denied and no intent to appeal is indicated, applicants shall be advised that they shall comply with compulsory education laws. In this case, the parent or guardian shall, where the pupil is between the ages of six and sixteen, be asked to

complete a written statement that the pupil will be attending school in another district, attending a nonpublic school, or receiving instruction elsewhere than at a school pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-25. In the event this written statement is not provided, the district level administrator designated by the Superintendent shall notify the school district of actual domicile or residence, or the Department of Children and Families to report a potential instance of “neglect” pursuant to N.J.S.A. 9:6-1, with the pupil’s name, the name(s) of the parent/guardian/resident, the pupil’s address to the extent known, and shall indicate that of admission to the district has been denied based on residency or domicile, and that there is no evidence of intent to arrange for the child to attend school or receive instruction elsewhere.

Enrollment or attendance in the district shall not be denied based upon absence of the certified copy of birth certificate or other proof of a pupil’s identity required within thirty days of initial enrollment pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:36-25.1.

Enrollment in the district shall not be denied based upon absence of pupil medical information, although actual attendance at school may be deferred as necessitated by compliance with rules regarding immunization of pupils, N.J.A.C. 8:57-4.1 et sq.

Enrollment in the district, attendance at school, or educational services where attendance in the regular education program appears inappropriate, shall not be denied based upon absence of a pupil’s prior educational record. However, the applicant shall be advised that the initial educational placement of the pupil may be subject to revision upon receipt of records or further assessment of the pupil by the district.

Notice of Ineligibility

If the district finds the applicant ineligible to attend the schools of the district pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:22-1.1 et seq., or the application initially submitted is found to be deficient upon subsequent review or investigation, notice shall immediately be provided to the applicant consistent with sample form(s) to be provided by the Commissioner. Notices shall be in writing, in English and in the native language of the applicant, issued by the Superintendent and directed to the address at which the applicant claims to reside. The Notice of Ineligibility shall be provided and shall include information as required in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:22-4.2 et seq.

Removal of Currently Enrolled Pupils

may be ineligible for continued attendance due to error in initial assessment, changed circumstances or newly discovered information.

When a pupil, enrolled and attending school in the district based on an initial determination of eligibility, is later determined to be ineligible for continued attendance, the Superintendent may apply to the Board for removal of the pupil in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:22-4.3(b). No pupil shall be removed from school unless the parent, guardian, adult pupil or resident keeping an "affidavit pupil" (as defined in N.J.A.C. 6A:22-1.2) as the case may be, has been informed of his or her entitlement to a hearing before the Board of Education. Once the hearing is held, or if the parent, guardian, adult pupil or resident keeping an "affidavit pupil", as the case may be, does not respond to the Superintendent’s notice within the designated time frame or appear for the hearing, the Board shall make a prompt determination of the pupil’s eligibility or ineligibility and shall immediately provide notice thereof in accordance with the requirements of N.J.A.C. 6A:22-4.2 et seq. The hearings required pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:22-4.3 et seq. may be conducted by the full Board or a Board Committee, at the discretion of the full Board. If the hearing(s) is conducted by a Board Committee, the Committee shall make a recommendation to the full Board for action.

Such appeals shall proceed in accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:38-1 and N.J.A.C. 6A:3-8.1 et seq. and shall proceed as a contested case pursuant to N.J.A.C.6A:3. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:38-1(b)1, appeals of "affidavit pupil" eligibility determinations must be filed by the resident keeping the pupil.

Assessment and Calculation of Tuition

If no appeal to the Commissioner is filed following notice of a determination of ineligibility, the Board may assess tuition for any period of a pupil’s ineligible attendance, including the twenty-one day period provided by N.J.S.A. 18A:38-1 for appeal to the Commissioner. Tuition will be assessed and calculated in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:22-6.3 et seq. The district may petition the Commissioner for an order assessing tuition, enforceable in accordance with N.J.S.A. 2A:58-10, through recording , upon request of the Board pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:3-12, on the judgment docket of the Superior Court, Law Division.

No child otherwise eligible shall be denied admission on the basis of the child’s race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, affectational or sexual orientation or sex, social or economic status, or disability. The continued enrollment of any nonresident pupil shall be contingent upon the pupil’s maintenance of good standards of citizenship and discipline as determined by the superintendent of schools whose decision is final.

1. Upon proper application, the children of families, who expect to become residents of the Wayne School District during a given semester and who have signed a contract to buy or build a residence in the district, shall be admitted to school on or after the beginning of the semester during which they expect to become residents. No tuition will be charged. Proof of residency shall be submitted, to the extent possible at the time of application, in accordance with the requirements of Board Policy. At a minimum, this proof shall include a fully executed, binding contract for the purchase of a residence within the district. Future residents shall, if necessary, fulfill their proof-of-residency requirements subsequent to the submission of their applications as additional required proofs become available, but in no event later than thirty days after the original date of closing listed on the contract. Failure to do so will result in contact by the district Attendance Officer. Lack of required proofs shall result in tuition charges retroactive to the original date of closing.

2. The parent (s) or legal guardian(s) and/or the adult pupil must notify the Building Principal of a change in any of the conditions supporting the pupil's tuition-free enrollment. The Principal must receive this notice within fourteen calendar days of the date on which any tuition-free enrollment condition(s) changed. The failure to notify administration of any such change within this time period may result in the pupil's loss of tuition-free status and/or disenrollment from the Wayne Public Schools. A pupil may be disenrolled or lose his/her tuition-free eligibility as a result of any change in the condition(s) which originally supported tuition-free enrollment.

Such non-resident juniors shall completely lose their eligibility to attend school in the district if they attend school outside of the district after becoming non-resident. Tuition charged for non-resident attendance shall be prorated from the annual rate to reflect only the period of non-resident attendance.

2. In classes on part-time session, enrollment of non-residents will not be permitted if such enrollment requires a class size in excess of the desired maximum number of pupils.

3. Non-resident parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and/or the adult pupil must notify the Building Principal if any of the conditions supporting a pupil's tuition enrollment change. The Principal must receive this notice within fourteen calendar days of the date on which any tuition enrollment condition(s) changed. The failure to notify administration of such change within this time period may result in a pupil's disenrollment from the Wayne Public Schools. A pupil may be disenrolled as a result of any change in the condition (s) which originally supported tuition enrollment.

Other Nonresident Children

1. Except in special contingencies pertaining to the welfare of the community and its schools or to cases of special hardship, the Wayne Board of Education will accept non-resident pupils upon the payment of tuition only when such acceptance will not necessitate increasing the size of the faculty or staff, or result in classes containing more than the permitted number of pupils. Cases of special hardship will be referred to the Board of Education for consideration. Non-resident teachers' children may also be admitted under this policy.

2. Non-resident parent (s) or legal guardian(s) and/or the adult pupil must notify the Building Principal if any of the conditions supporting a pupil's tuition enrollment change. The Principal must receive this notice within fourteen

5330 ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION (M)

The Board of Education disclaims any and all responsibility for the diagnosis and treatment of the illness of any pupil. However, in order for many pupils with chronic health conditions and disabilities to remain in school, medication may have to be administered during school hours. Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to administer medications to children at home whenever possible as medication should be administered in school only when necessary for the health and safety of pupils. The Board will permit the administration of medication in school in accordance with applicable law.

Medication will only be administered to pupils in school by the school physician, a certified or noncertified school nurse, a substitute school nurse employed by the district, the pupil’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s), a pupil who is approved to self-administer in accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.3 and 12.4, and school employees who have been trained and designated by the certified school nurse to administer epinephrine in an emergency pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.5 and 12.6.

Self-administration of medication by a pupil for asthma or other potentially life- threatening illness or a life threatening allergic reaction is permitted in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.3.

Medication no longer required must be promptly removed by the parent(s) or legal guardian(s).

The school nurse shall have the primary responsibility for the administration of epinephrine. However, the certified school nurse may designate, in consultation with the Board or the Superintendent, additional employees of the district who volunteer to be trained in the administration of epinephrine via a pre-filled auto-injector mechanism using standardized training protocols established by the Department of Education in consultation with the Department of Health and Senior Services when the school nurse is not physically present at the scene.

The school nurse or designee shall be promptly available on site at the school and at school-sponsored functions in the event of an allergic reaction. In addition, the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must be informed that the school district, its employees and agents shall have no liability as a result of any injury arising from the administration of epinephrine to the pupil.

Regular Meeting December 20, 2012 Page 195 of 375

P-13-08 WAYNE TOWNSHIP POLICY BOARD OF EDUCATION PUPILS 5330/Page 2 of 3 ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION (M)

The parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of the pupil must sign a statement acknowledging their understanding the district shall have no liability as a result of any injury arising from the administration of the epinephrine via a pre-filled auto-injector mechanism to the pupil and the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) shall indemnify and hold harmless the district and its employees or agents against any claims arising out of the administration of the epinephrine via a pre-filled auto-injector mechanism to the pupil.

The permission for the emergency administration of epinephrine via a pre-filled auto- injector mechanism containing epinephrine to pupils for anaphylaxis is effective for the school year it is granted and must be renewed for each subsequent school year.

Each school in the district shall have and maintain for the use of pupils at least one nebulizer in the office of the school nurse or a similar accessible location. Each certified school nurse or other persons authorized to administer asthma medication will receive training in airway management and in the use of nebulizers and inhalers consistent with State Department of Education regulations. Every pupil that is authorized to use self- administered asthma medication pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.3 or a nebulizer must have an asthma treatment plan prepared by the pupil’s physician which shall identify, at a minimum, asthma triggers, the treatment plan and other such elements as required by the State Board of Education.

All pupil medications shall be appropriately maintained and secured by the school nurse, except those medications to be self-administered by pupils. In those instances the medication may be retained by the pupil with the prior knowledge of the school nurse. The school nurse may provide the Principal and other teaching staff members concerned with the pupil’s educational progress with such information about the medication and its administration as may be in the pupil’s best educational interests. The school nurse may report to the school physician any pupil who appears to be affected adversely by the administration of medication and may recommend to the Principal the pupil’s exclusion pursuant to law.

The school nurse shall document each instance of the administration of medication to a pupil. Pupils self-administering medication shall report each incident to a teacher, coach or other individual designated by the school nurse who is supervising the pupil during the school activity when the pupil self-administers. These designated individuals shall report such incidents to the school nurse within twenty-four hours of the self-administration of medication. The school nurse shall preserve records and documentation regarding the self-administration of medication in the pupil’s health file.

5331 MANAGEMENT OF LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGIES IN SCHOOLS (M)

The Board of Education recognizes pupils may have allergies to certain foods and other substances and may be at risk for anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a sudden, severe, serious, systemic allergic reaction that can involve various areas of the body (such as the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system). Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that may be rapid in onset and may cause death. Policy 5331 has been developed in accordance with the Guidelines for the Management of Life- Threatening Food Allergies in Schools developed by the New Jersey Department of Education.

An Individualized Healthcare Plan (IHP) and an Individualized Emergency Healthcare Plan (IEHP) will be developed for each pupil at risk for a life-threatening allergic reaction. Self-administration of medication, the placement and the accessibility of epinephrine, and the recruitment and training of designees who volunteer to administer epinephrine during school and at school-sponsored functions when the school nurse or designee is not available shall be in accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.3, N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.5, N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.6, N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.6a, N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.6b, N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.6c, and Board Policy and Regulation 5330. School staff will be appropriately trained by the school nurse or designee to understand the school’s general emergency procedures and steps to take should a life-threatening allergic reaction occur.

The school district will develop and implement appropriate strategies and prevention measures for the reduction of risk of exposure to food allergens throughout the school day, during before- and after-school programs, at all school-sponsored activities, in the cafeteria, or wherever food is present.

A description of the roles and responsibilities of parent(s) or legal guardian(s), staff, and pupils to prevent allergic reactions and during allergic reactions are outlined in Regulation 5331.

Every incident involving a life-threatening allergic reaction and/or whenever epinephrine is administered throughout the school day, during before- and after-school programs, and/or at all school-sponsored activities shall be reported to the school nurse or designee. The school nurse or designee shall be responsible to notify emergency responders, the Principal or designee, the school physician, and the Superintendent of Schools. The

P-13-09 WAYNE TOWNSHIP POLICY BOARD OF EDUCATION PUPILS 5331/Page 2 of 3 MANAGEMENT OF LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGIES IN SCHOOLS (M)

Superintendent shall inform the Board of Education after every incident including a life- threatening allergic reaction or whenever epinephrine is administered by the school nurse or designee. In addition, in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:40- 12.5.e.(3), the school nurse or designee shall arrange for the transportation of a pupil to the hospital emergency room by emergency services personnel after the administration of epinephrine, even if the pupil’s symptoms appear to have resolved.

There will be occasions where food and/or beverages will be served as part of a classroom experience, field trip, and/or celebration. Because the ingredients of these food and beverage products may be unknown to the food preparation person and/or server, a pupil with anaphylaxis to food should not consume any food products that he/she is unsure of the ingredients. The teacher will provide, whenever possible, advance notice of the classroom experience, field trip, or celebration in order for the pupil to bring a food or beverage product from their home so they may participate in the activity.

When a parent(s) or legal guardian(s) informs the Building Principal and the school nurse the pupil may have an anaphylactic reaction to a substance other than food, the Building Principal will work with school staff to determine if these substances are on school grounds. The Building Principal will inform and work with the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and the pupil to avoid the pupil’s exposure to these substances if present on school grounds.

School staff will be appropriately trained by the school nurse or designee to understand the school’s general emergency procedures and steps to take should a life-threatening allergic reaction occur. The school nurse or designee will provide appropriate training to school staff to understand allergies to food and other substances, to recognize symptoms of an allergic reaction, and to know the school’s general emergency procedures and steps to take should a life-threatening allergic reaction occur. The school nurse will work with appropriate school staff to eliminate or substitute the use of allergens in the allergic pupil’s meals, educational/instructional tools and materials, arts and crafts projects, or incentives.

Policy and Regulation 5331 should be annually reviewed, evaluated, and updated where needed. Policy and Regulation 5331 will be disseminated and communicated to all parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of pupils in the school in the beginning of each school year and when a pupil enters the school after the beginning of the school year.

5335 TREATMENT OF ASTHMA (M)

The Board of Education recognizes the primary goal for children with asthma is to allow the child to live as normal a life as possible. The child should be able to participate in normal childhood activities, experience exercise tolerance similar to peers, and attend school to grow intellectually and develop socially. In accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:16- 2.1(a)5, the Board adopts this Policy that includes procedures for the treatment of asthma in the school setting.

Every school in the district shall have and maintain for the use of pupils at least one nebulizer in the office of the school nurse or a similar accessible location. Each school nurse in the district shall receive training in airway management and in the use of nebulizers and inhalers consistent with nationally recognized standards including, but not limited to, those of the National Institutes of Health and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.8(a). The school nurse, upon receiving this training, is authorized to administer asthma medication through the use of a nebulizer pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.8(a).

Each pupil authorized to use self-administered asthma medication pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:40-12.3 and Policy 5330 or a nebulizer shall have an Asthma Action Plan (AAP) prepared by the pupil's medical home and submitted to the certified school nurse. The AAP shall identify, at a minimum, asthma triggers and information to be included in the individualized healthcare plan and individualized emergency healthcare plan, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:16-2.3(b) for meeting the medical needs of the pupil while attending school or a school-sponsored function.

The Board of Education believes that the cooperation between school and home in the interests of children is fostered by the systematic communication of pupils’ educational welfare to parent(s) or legal guardian(s). The Board directs the establishment of a program of reporting pupil progress that shall include written reports , pupil-teacher conferences and parent-teacher conferences and requires the cooperation of all appropriate teaching staff members in that program as part of their professional responsibilities. If the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) primary language is other than English, translation shall be provided whenever possible.

The Superintendent shall develop, in consultation with appropriate teaching staff members, procedures for reporting pupil progress to parent(s) or legal guardian(s) that utilize various methods of reporting appropriate to grade level and curriculum content; ensure that the pupil and parent(s) or legal guardian(s) receive ample warning of a possible failing grade or any grade that would adversely affect the pupil's educational status; enable the scheduling of parent-teacher conferences at such times as will ensure the greatest degree of participation by parent(s) or legal guardian(s); and require the issuance of report cards at intervals of not less than four times per year; and ensure the continual review and improvement of methods of reporting pupil progress to parents/guardians and involve pupils, staff and parents/guardians in that review.

Reports of individual achievement on state assessment tests shall be promptly made available to the pupil or the pupil's parent(s) or legal guardian(s).

A record shall be kept indicating the legal custodian of each pupil, so that reports can be made to and conferences arranged with the proper person. It is the responsibility of the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) to notify the district when changes in custodial rights occur.

Equity In Pupil Access

It is the policy of the Board of Education to ensure equal and bias-free access to all school facilities, courses, programs, activities, and services, regardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, affectational or sexual orientation or sex, social or economic status, or disability.

The school district administration will ensure: that all pupils will have equal and barrier- free access to all school and classroom facilities, that minority and female pupils are not under-represented in gifted and talented or accelerated/advanced courses and that minority and male pupils are not over-represented in detentions, suspensions, expulsions, dropouts, or special needs classifications. Support services will be available to all pupils and that all limited English-proficient pupils and pupils with disabilities will have equal and bias-free access to all school programs and activities. The school district will ensure equal and bias-free access for all pupils to computers, computer classes, vocational education classes, and technologically-advanced instructional assistance, regardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, affectational or sexual orientation or sex, social or economic status, or disability.

The Board of Education will refrain from locating new facilities in areas that will contribute to imbalanced, isolated, or racially identifiable school enrollments. The school district administration will assign pupils to ensure that the racial/national origin composition of each school’s enrollment reflects the composition of the district-wide enrollment and so that school and classroom enrollments are not identifiable on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, affectational or sexual orientation or sex, social or economic status, or disability.

Pupils will not be separated or isolated by race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, affectational or sexual orientation or sex, social or economic status, or disability within schools, courses, classes, programs, or extracurricular activities. Bias-free multiple measures for determining the special needs of language- minority pupils and pupils with disabilities will be utilized. The Board of Education shall ensure that a pupil is not discriminated against because of a medical condition. A pupil shall not be excluded from any education program or activity because of a long-term medical condition unless a physician certifies that such exclusion is necessary. If excluded, the pupil must be provided with equivalent and timely instruction. Pregnant

The school district will ensure the guidance program provides access to adequate and appropriate counseling services for minority pupils, limited English-proficient pupils, non-college bound pupils, and pupils with disabilities. A full range of possible career, professional, and/or vocational choices will be presented to all pupils.

Equity in Physical Education Training

All school district physical education programs will be co-educational, with the exception of wrestling practice and a minimum of 75% of the electives are chosen by at least 30% of enrolled male and female pupils, when the physical education programs are elective.

Equity in Athletic Programs

The school district’s athletic program will provide equitable opportunities for female and male pupils to participate in athletics and equitable support for cheerleading programs and comparable facilities for male and female teams. The athletic program will have relatively equal numbers of varsity and sub-varsity teams for male and female teams and equitable scheduling of night games, practice times, and numbers of games for male and female teams , and equitable treatment of all other related areas or matters.
