For all of the program components (except financial aid), the basic test of compliance is equivalence. That is, the benefits, opportunities and treatment of each sex must be equal or equal in effect. To determine if differences are caused by discrimination, the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) looks for a "disparity" between the men s and women s programs. A "disparity" is defined as a difference, on the basis of sex, in benefits or services that have a negative impact on athletes of one sex when compared with benefits or services available to athletes of the other sex. 4) The following person may be designated to handle inquiries regarding Title IX compliance: Chuck Stockton, Superintendent, P.O.

23 CONSENT AGENDA ITEM P Subject: Approval of annual Site Council reports and Site Council appointments A. Pertinent Facts 1) Legislation passed in 1992, "The School District Finance and Quality Performance Act," (KSA ) requires each public school district in Kansas to participate in Quality Performance Accreditation. A portion of that law requires every school in every public school district which operates more than one school to have established by January 1, 1993, a school site council composed of the principal and representatives of the school staff, parents, business, and community leaders. When the school determines its site council membership, it must keep in mind the diversity of its school population so that it is truly representative (e.g., students with disabilities, students with limited English proficiency). 2) Site councils have no independent authority and are strictly advisory to the local board of education. They are charged with providing the local school board with "advice and counsel" in meeting state, district, and building education goals. Each local school board determines how the members of the site council will be chosen, how they will operate, and how and when they will report their recommendations to the board. 3) Please find attached the site council report from Mound Valley Grade School and the recommended membership from Mound Valley Grade. (Attachment C). All other reports were previously approved at the June 2011 meeting. B. Fiscal Notes 1) None. C. Recommendation That the Board approves the consent agenda items as presented. By approving the consent agenda the board approves the site council reports and the school site councils membership as presented. NOTE: The consent agenda is a method whereby the board, with one motion, may approve (by consent) all consent agenda items as a single block with one motion as opposed to separate consideration and discussion of each item. Consent agenda items are routine, informational, or the receipt of reports, which may not need discussion. This procedure assumes that each board member has read and studied the agenda prior to the meeting. Prepared by: Chuck Stockton Board Meeting July 11, 2011 USD 506 Board Meeting Agenda 21
