Board approves updated DEI and student‑travel policies after legal review
Board members voted to approve updated diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies and summer policy updates after district legal review. The superintendent told the board the policies were vetted by the district attorneys and included guidance for logo use and restrictions on travel and rooming arrangements that will require administrators to approve any deviations.

The superintendent said a summary sheet in the packet indicates where the changes appear and that additional lawyer responses to specific questions about the summer policy updates would be provided the following day. The district will require organizations to use school‑approved official logos and advised building administrators or athletic directors should be consulted before any logo changes.

Board members approved the DEI policies by unanimous vote. The superintendent encouraged trustees to read the full packet and noted more detailed answers from the district’s legal counsel would be shared before the next policy step.
