HR policy task force completes review; drafts to be submitted to MSBA for suggested edits

Members of a Saint Louis Public Schools HR policy task force told the governance committee they have completed multiple reviews of personnel policies and plan to submit the drafts to the Missouri School Boards' Association (MSBA) for suggested edits. The task force said it has met roughly 10 times and was diligent in analyzing policy implications.

The committee heard that MSBA will review the submitted drafts and return suggested edits. The task force will then reconvene to review MSBA's edits; if the task force approves the revised language, the documents will be scheduled for a board work session and then presented to the full board for adoption.

Discussion vs. decision: The committee received the update and did not take formal action; committee members expressed appreciation for the task force's diligence and agreed on the MSBA review step before bringing policies forward to the board.

Ending: The task force will wait for MSBA feedback, then return the revised drafts to the task force for further review and eventual presentation to the board.
