DIAB Vice Chair Theresa Smith presented the subcommittee report; subcommittee lead Britney Patrick was absent but provided materials for the meeting.

The subgroup requested five follow-up actions to support a formal policy revision: creation of a hyperlinked list of relevant standard operating procedures, regulations, resolutions and administrative procedures; a follow-up meeting with Dr. Moss to present recommendations; incorporation of the DIAB policy into the formal policy-review dashboard and timeline; improved timeliness for DIAB data requests; and development of an internal ADA survey for PGCPS staff. Theresa Smith said the narrative document and track-changes file are uploaded to the DIAB Google Drive.

DIAB members asked that all full-board members be given time to review the proposed changes before any motions are brought to the floor. Board staff member Cindy (identified in the meeting as an acting director) told members the district's policy and governance committee is unlikely to act on policy revisions before the 2025\t6 school year and advised that the subcommittee share recommendations by July 1 to be considered for that cycle. Following discussion, the full board agreed to delay putting motions on the floor so members can review the posted documents and provide feedback to the subgroup.

The subcommittee also noted a separate administrative concern: delays in responses to DIAB's data requests. DIAB members were advised to route formal data requests through Board Member Brown so they enter the district's tracking system; staff stated that requests submitted through the board tracker typically generate an initial response within 48 hours. The subgroup said it will return with revised motions after members review the posted materials.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Disability Issues Advisory Board Meeting April 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The DIAB policy working subgroup presented eight formal recommendations and a track-changes draft for Board Policy 1700 on April 8, 2025, and members agreed to postpone formal motions to allow full-board review.","taxTitle","Prince George's County Public Schools, School Boards, Maryland","taxId",14202,"location","Maryland","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6081791,"Disability Issues Advisory Board adopts agenda and minutes, removes chair—report from agenda",0,274000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941446-82066edc0b1fd9dd12fe85ab7c5e00ce&start=274&end=274","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941446-82066edc0b1fd9dd12fe85ab7c5e00ce/thumbnail_274000.jpg","/articles/6081791/Maryland/Disability-Issues-Advisory-Board-adopts-agenda-and-minutes-removes-chairreport-from-agenda","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081791-4044027e5c3b669deb7d1f7aa92f481a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775418030&Signature=TmBYIFtJ7PUhzVlU8ykoGVbfUl25P~qdWbPXkg2dV-C7k8gjG03FhWagOGTL-RiMO~bILtrBYS-QYD4js68g-bYJL8~L1thaQpqr67tAjSYz~waY0FLEcQSDsRhXk0s043r0M816tLVpfPBc3K8H6XPq2V5BnlPqI3D9UaKmwGPCx15B7iPWeqLLRNyVPLHqOhgT578nosR7l82m2VQB8e6FsveqInN-xmDmqgUkuU4riQqCd4TF9VGOraBAAvnsgnGVFIpsOPaLWGUOqVdkmawbREO~lx23ueVaM52dIQxbEmNf7tenDX2i9B1oLzm5~ESr245rqSWT5cUQXpj2BQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Disability Issues Advisory Board confirmed quorum and adopted its posted agenda at a virtual meeting on April 8, 2025.

During agenda-item discussion the board moved and seconded a motion to strike the report of the chair from the April 8 agenda. DIAB member Theresa Smith moved the motion and DIAB member Ms. Bowman seconded it; the chair announced the motion was adopted by no objection.

A separate motion by DIAB member Vickery to set an interim meeting date for broader subcommittee review was placed on the floor, seconded, discussed and then withdrawn by the mover; no vote on that date occurred.

The meeting adjourned at 7:16 p.m.; the board noted its next virtual meeting date as May 20, 2025 and asked members to check the Prince George's County Board of Education website for updates.","At its April 8, 2025 virtual meeting the Disability Issues Advisory Board confirmed quorum, adopted the posted agenda and approved minutes from March 18, 2025.

Several DIAB members recommended preparing a concise 1- to 2-page introductory overview of the board's mission, membership and subcommittee work for presentation at a full-board meeting; members suggested using May to prepare and presenting in June (the last full-board meeting listed on the calendar is June 26). Members stressed that outstanding data requests should be prioritized because recommendations will be stronger with accurate administrative data.

Miss Payne told the board the subcommittee has obtained initial data on reasonable accommodation requests that showed response times and case-status details; the data raised concerns the subcommittee will address in recommendations. The group has scheduled a meeting with Dr. Baldwin, head of human resources, for the Friday after the April 8 meeting and expects to complete its recommendations and present them to DIAB in May.

The review covers building features including ramps, working elevators, cafeterias, stages and bathrooms, plus exterior elements such as sidewalks, playground access and athletic-field access points. Ms. Bowman noted many county schools predate the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) and that the district uses the rolling accessibility database to prioritize renovations and minor fixes.

The subcommittee compiled questions from members about building accessibility and is gathering responses from relevant offices; Ms. Bowman said she will reach out to subject-matter staff and that the subcommittee's next meeting is tentatively scheduled for April 28 at 5:30 p.m. A community member attending the meeting said she inspected one local high school and reported a new sidewalk but noted bleacher access remained inadequate; Ms. Bowman asked for the school name by email so building services can follow up.","The new school construction and accessibility subcommittee said PGCPS conducts accessibility reviews for every school every three years and has uploaded facility assessments to a dashboard; the group has compiled questions for facilities staff and scheduled a follow-up meeting for April 28, 2025.","actionData","errors"]
