Board reinstates Title IX policy 110, repeals policy 119 following court ruling and U.S. Department of Education guidance
Summary
The Colonial School Board voted to waive readings, remove board policy 119 and enact policy 110 (Title IX implementation) with revisions recommended by legal counsel, saying the changes were primarily semantic.
On Feb. 18, 2025, the Colonial School Board voted to repeal board policy 119 and reinstate board policy 110 for Title IX implementation, citing a recent court ruling, guidance from the U.S. Department of Education and recommendations from the district’s legal counsel.
Board members moved to waive the first and second reading processes, remove policy 119 and approve policy 110 with the revisions recommended by legal counsel. The motion was moved by Mister Cross and seconded by Mister Laws; the board voted to approve the motion.
Board staff told members the revisions were "semantics and... wordsmithing changes to grammar" and that there was "no substantive change to the previous existing policy." The recommendation presented to the board referenced a court ruling and U.S. Department of Education guidance as the reason for the policy adjustment.
The board approved the motion and instructed staff to implement the revised policy as submitted by legal counsel. No roll-call vote totals were recorded in the meeting transcript.
