Policy Committee chair Miss Snowden told the board the committee met Aug. 4 to review student policies and that many updates follow recommendations from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association. The committee clarified that policy 207 (confidential communications) permits administration to release student confidential information only under qualifying circumstances and that policy 255 is being retired and its topics incorporated elsewhere.

A member of the public, Laurie Katz, had asked why the draft policy language removed a reference to “married students” and whether counseling on school grounds would involve outside services. Committee members and Superintendent Dr. Senko said some of the language changes came from state law and that, in particular, schools must provide reasonable accommodations related to pregnancy without requiring medical documentation for common accommodations.

Board members agreed not to answer every detail verbally at the meeting and asked administration and staff — including Mr. Spring — to prepare written responses to Katz’s specific questions about policy 234 (pregnancy and parenting), counseling parameters, and related items so the full board can review them. The board said it will share those responses with the public.

No final votes were taken on the policies at Thursday’s meeting; the items were advanced as first/second‑read matters in committee and as consent agenda recommendations for later formal approval.","The board advanced several student-related policies for first and second readings and confirmed that recent policy language about pregnancy and accommodations is grounded in state law; the district will supply written answers to a parent’s detailed questions.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6588290,"Council Rock board approves hire of Dan Bartleson as supervisor of special education",598,812000,1410000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5718877-e4b70f04dcbe805bce24d5daeb78ece6&start=812&end=1410","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5718877-e4b70f04dcbe805bce24d5daeb78ece6/thumbnail_812000.jpg","/articles/6588290/Pennsylvania/Council-Rock-board-approves-hire-of-Dan-Bartleson-as-supervisor-of-special-education","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588290-dda0ce73b58f98e426772481717b6807/orig.mp4?Expires=1774320383&Signature=F~z-JgR7GJANEzm0-ImcbtXj-GCzn1edmu0UKdhyqIW3QgwFRKB~oSwfwEgcY~bYpElcoQSnptyq4jNcWOF0klWtAVWme-iCATyzc5m-3w~4rEy1Vp566L4vFCl1weWPyDdfvZ1xya7NlDvvnnFlIFCK7LkFOp7ngJUOUYOhGIwW2KUvJi3U7snYqueYI~B1Lv51N1qtmMW52WsvzOKpqbB18ZpMioDLiNIk4az3QgQyteuRtmsczYmqc3mLwtzuaRjg-WjPUCx93LtOAhCxmzfAT6g1GMiqHoDc6o6-~IDmHD95gCGSINGqnxf1CoD9nsP9KD-j4ijlr9SX6setsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Council Rock School District board voted unanimously Thursday to approve personnel actions that included hiring Dan Bartleson as the district’s supervisor of special education.

Superintendent Dr. Senko introduced Bartleson as a candidate recommended after a “rigorous interview process.” Bartleson, who addressed the board after the motion passed, said he spent nine and a half years at Council Rock as a special education teacher in the Achieve program and at Council Rock High School South and that he is “definitely looking forward to working with the team here and continuing to build on everything that this district is already doing.”

Board member Mr. Hidalgo moved the personnel motion; the secretary recorded the vote as passing unanimously. Board President Ed Tate congratulated Bartleson during the meeting.

The personnel approval was taken after the board approved meeting minutes and public comment; the superintendent had asked that personnel be moved earlier in the agenda so Bartleson’s family could be present when the vote occurred. No additional employment terms or salary information were disclosed at the meeting.","The board unanimously approved the recommendation to hire Dan Bartleson as supervisor of special education and moved personnel items up on the agenda so the hire could be confirmed at the Aug. 21 meeting.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6588294,"Council Rock board says law enforcement is handling illegal AI-generated images; FERPA limits what it can disclose",142,1010000,1152000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5718877-e4b70f04dcbe805bce24d5daeb78ece6&start=1010&end=1152","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5718877-e4b70f04dcbe805bce24d5daeb78ece6/thumbnail_1010000.jpg","/articles/6588294/Pennsylvania/Council-Rock-board-says-law-enforcement-is-handling-illegal-AI-generated-images-FERPA-limits-what-it-can-disclose","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588294-2802cd26f163420af1b84a41f05ec474/orig.mp4?Expires=1774320383&Signature=kI9u5SO-Qy3CNU92pVeTCcawTwUFHP1Ghrd0NxNik9m~6nvQHPJpX653rk2PBuqQr8p8GocEPk2RFCsPlDFMDteqMju-EYWPh5rQ7jK~rJZ1eVDv2NbZtKWZdxb~JOGCZYKxYUyFfaflgIjlCjLGDlzLnbZ0bnUug7CMDKSgZxmjeO8TmvSiT3Hck2kG0C-N-HZwkpW~JA5voyuRiIMvmT9ZuMmdyT3RWcb~tOiLD3VGnVFcSnT91hM4Hr~jH~nB8ZVYdqC-IduJisb96cPYHbzAz3KHp2H33OlL9x7bBMBEppvS6r-Gtd2A4POKFcdyf6ZMWmAa7nd122GvASedTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Council Rock School District board told the public Thursday that a disturbing incident last spring involving illegal artificial‑intelligence generated images of students is now with law enforcement and that federal and state privacy laws restrict what the district can disclose.

Board leadership and district administration said they have worked with law enforcement since receiving “the first credible reports” and that district staff notified authorities “just minutes after receiving it.” The board also said there is “no reason to believe that this occurred on school grounds or during school hours.”

The board’s statement, read at the Aug. 21 meeting by Superintendent Dr. Senko, said federal and state laws — including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act — limit the district’s ability to discuss details publicly. “Because this situation is now in the hands of law enforcement, we are very constrained in what we are permitted to share or discuss publicly,” Senko said. The statement added that district officials have “fully cooperated with law enforcement.”

The board said it has been working with the students involved and their parents “in a compassionate and ethical manner” and that it will continue to do so. It also said board members have spent hours reviewing administration recommendations but cannot elaborate while legal proceedings and privacy rules apply.

The district asked the community to respect those limits and said the board remains “fully engaged” in the matter. No formal action was taken at the meeting on this topic; the board’s remarks were informational and followed an executive‑session discussion on a confidential student matter and real estate.

The board said it will continue to work with affected families and law enforcement and asked the public for understanding given the legal constraints on disclosure.","At its Aug. 21 meeting the Council Rock School District board said it has cooperated with law enforcement after reports of illegal AI-produced images involving students and that federal privacy laws limit what the district can share publicly.","actionData","errors"]
