New Business NEW BUSINESS First Reading of Proposed Revised Policy – 1740 – Relationship With Non-Public Schools

First Reading of Proposed Revised Policy – 1740 – Relationship With Non-Public Schools

In recognition of the educational, cultural, and economic values which parochial and private schools provide to parents, citizens, and community taxpayers, the Board of Education shall make available the full range of public school services to resident students who attend nonpublic schools. The Board recognizes that section 701 of the Education Law requires all school boards to purchase and to loan, upon individual request, textbooks to all children residing in the district who are attending grades kindergarten through twelve in any public or nonpublic school which complies with the compulsory education law. It is also understood that the textbooks must be "loaned free" to the children, but school boards may make reasonable rules and regulations regarding such loan(s). Therefore, the following rules and regulations shall govern the loan of textbooks to residents of the district attending nonpublic schools: 1. The textbooks shall remain the property of the District. 2. The District reserves the right to request the return of textbooks. If the District so requests their return, the textbooks shall be returned at the end of the nonpublic school’s year. 3. If lost or destroyed, the textbooks shall be paid for in the same fashion as the students attending district schools. 4. If a non-public school determines that textbook(s) is/are obsolete and its use is no longer needed, the non-public school shall furnish a list of all such books to the District


and retain such books until the District is able to pick them up. 5. Non-public schools which request that textbooks be shipped directly to the school will be required to reimburse the District for any and all expenses related to shipping, handling and/or transportation over and above the State aid apportionment for the applicable year. 6. If a non-public school does not wish to incur charges related to shipping, handling and/or transportation, it may pick up the textbooks from the Central Warehouse. The Board authorizes the Superintendent of Schools to establish any and all rules, regulations and procedures necessary to implement and maintain this policy. A discussion is started by some Board members. Mr. LoCicero asks for a point of order – we don’t belong here, this is a silent reading to make public aware that this is under review.
