The Eureka Union School District Board of Trustees voted to adopt several revised board policies and corresponding administrative regulations at the meeting, including updates on classroom discussion of religion, human sexuality and HIV/AIDS prevention instruction, comprehensive health education, and reading/language arts (which included a district decision to adopt a dyslexia/reading‑difficulty screener). Each policy and AR was presented by district staff and approved by the board after discussion; some votes waived the first reading requirement.

Why it matters: the revisions reflect statewide legal developments and local policy clarifications: the religion policy is updated after recent court guidance to emphasize academic study of religion (not endorsement) and to spell out the parent opt‑out process; health and HIV/sexual health policies specify parental notification and opt‑out procedures and add or clarify content elements; the reading policy implements a required screening approach for reading difficulties/dyslexia and specifies possible screening exemptions.

What the board approved:
- BP/AR 6141.2 (recognition of religious beliefs and customs): motion to approve by Trustee Conklin, second by Trustee Dahlstrom; vote recorded as aye and the motion carried.
- BP/AR 6142.1 (human sexuality and HIV/AIDS prevention instruction): board approved and waived first reading after edits clarifying grade bands; motion and second were recorded and the motion carried.
- BP/AR 6142.8 (comprehensive health education): board approved and waived first reading; motion carried.
- BP 6142.91 (reading and language arts; dyslexia/reading difficulties screener): board approved a revised policy that calls for screening using an adopted instrument; the district reported it adopted the chosen screener (named at the meeting) and that parents may request exemptions in specified circumstances; motion carried.

Authorities and statutory references: presenters cited the California Education Code and referenced CDE expectations and recent court guidance (discussion referenced “Ed. Code” sections during presentation and named the state summative ELPAC requirement in the EL presentation earlier). The dyslexia/screener change was tied to a cited Ed. Code requirement to adopt a reading‑difficulty screener.

Action and process notes: district staff said parental notification must be provided at the beginning of the school year or at enrollment for topics that carry opt‑out rights and that parents are entitled to review instructional materials. Trustees asked for small wording corrections (for example, grade bands for required instruction) before final approval; staff incorporated the clarifications and the board voted to approve each item.

Outcome: all presented BP/ARs were approved at the meeting; the board recorded motions, seconds and unanimous or recorded aye votes for each item during roll call.
