The DuBois School District Board voted to adopt updated versions of three student-related policies after a second reading at its September regular meeting.

The revisions appeared as a second reading on the agenda and were presented to the board by Doctor Walters, the district superintendent. Board members moved to approve the policies; the board recorded the action and the motion passed with six votes in favor and one absence.
