The Gloucester County Public Schools Board convened on December 5, 2024, for a work session focused on policy revisions. The meeting began with a roll call, during which all members were present, including Miss McDonough, who attended remotely due to recent surgery. The board approved her request for remote participation in accordance with their policy.

Following the pledge of allegiance, the board moved to adopt the meeting agenda, which was approved without any changes. The session then transitioned to the citizen comment period, where it was noted that no members of the public were present to speak, nor were there any pre-recorded comments submitted.

The primary focus of the meeting was on four proposed policy revisions: DAA (Management of Funds), IIBDA (Selection and Adoption of Library Materials), IIBDAB (Evaluation and Reconsideration of Library Materials), and KNAJ (Relations with Law Enforcement Authorities). The board discussed the DAA policy revision first, which aims to clarify the superintendent's authority regarding purchase approvals.

The meeting was structured to allow for questions and discussions on each policy, with the intention of finalizing recommendations to be presented for action at the next board meeting on December 10, 2024. This work session marks a significant step in updating the district's policies to better align with current needs and regulations.
