The Board of Education: discussion of regulatory changes under COVID

Rhoda Schneider take inventory of what's in our regulations
examples:
vocational technical: possible to apply as non-residents
date tomorrow to submit tuition application to their own district of residents
school finance: required to provide info on or before April 15
educators: by June 30
all of these things in ordinary times are what happens, need to have way for Commissioner to waive as needed

ask to adopt an emergency regulation, as on Student Opportunity Act
public body can adopt, then go through public comment under emergency reg
does not cover anything mandated by federal law, nor those in state statute
those would require state or federal action
"only as necessary, only for good cause in state of emergency"
"use sparingly and as needed, will provide advance notice" to Board

Hills: as this goes on, you might need ability to approve certain things that go beyond what's particularly limited and proscribed
can you imagine such a situation?
Schneider: "not necessary yet"
emergency order of governor on meetings allows for quicker meetings as needed

hard to imagine extending a deadline for a very long time
regulation adopted by roll call
