Summary

Trustees approved second-reading changes to multiple local policies recommended by TASB and approved library collection policy revisions to align with Senate Bill 13; changes were presented as a second reading and approved unanimously.

Bridge City Independent School District trustees approved several local policy updates and a revision to the district school libraries collection policy at their Aug. 20 meeting, in a package presented by the administration and recommended by TASB.

The board took formal action to add, revise or delete the following Local policies as a second reading: EFB(LOCAL) Instructional Resources — Library Materials; FD(LOCAL) Admissions; FM(LOCAL) Student Activities; and FNCE(LOCAL) Student Conduct — Personal Telecommunications/Electronic Devices. The motion to approve the policy changes was made by Paul Zoch, seconded by Thad Hill and carried unanimously, according to the minutes.

Separately, trustees approved revisions to the BCISD School Libraries Collection Development Policy to align with Senate Bill 13. The consent motion to approve the policy revisions carried unanimously.

Those actions were presented to the board as second-reading policy updates recommended following the recent legislative session; the minutes identify TASB (Texas Association of School Boards) as the source of recommended changes but do not quote legislative text or provide detailed policy language in the public minutes.

The approvals were formal board votes; the minutes note the action but do not record extended debate or stipulate implementation timelines for the revised policies.
