The Moline‑Coal Valley CUSD 40 Board of Education accepted first readings of multiple policy updates at the June 23 meeting, covering operational services, procurement and finance, facility thresholds and student policies.

Among the operational policies brought forward were updates to policy 4.15 (identity protection) and 4.120 (food services). The board accepted a first reading of policy 4.55 concerning use of procurement cards; staff explained the district seeks to increase the single‑purchase threshold from $500 to $20,000 and the monthly threshold from $1,000 to $50,000 to accommodate vendors that no longer accept purchase orders (examples given included hotel bookings and flights).

Board members also accepted the first reading of policy 4.80 on accounting audits and 4.150 on facility management and building programs; the latter aligns construction approval thresholds so that anything over $35,000 requires board approval, resolving a conflict with a prior $17,500 threshold in another section.

Student‑focused updates accepted for first reading included policies in section 7: 7.10 (educational opportunities), 7.20 (student conduct/progressive discipline language), 7.180 (prevention/response to bullying, intimidation and harassment) and 7.185 (teen dating violence prohibited). The board also accepted revisions to policy 7.270 on administering medicine to students and 8.30 concerning visitors and conduct on school property. Several first readings were allowed to stand as both the first and second reading at the board's discretion, per the meeting record.

Board members voted by roll call to accept the first readings; the record shows multiple board members voting "aye."
