Board approves MSBA-recommended policies but tables one clause tied to federal guidance
Summary
The board approved several Missouri School Boards’ Association (MSBA) policy updates but agreed to exclude/hold DAF AP1 pending further review; members discussed federal program rule changes and a contractor certification about boycott of Israel.
WARREN CO. R-III trustees voted to adopt several policy updates recommended by the Missouri School Boards’ Association, but withheld action on a single policy section (DAF AP1) for further review.
During discussion, board members and staff noted the MSBA updates reflect recent federal program guidance. A staff presenter summarized changes as stemming from updated federal program rules and Department of Education interpretations, with an effective date cited as Oct. 1, 2024 for the federal rule referenced in the presentation.
Board members also raised a separate compliance item mentioned in the discussion: some contracts will be required to provide a certificate that they do not boycott goods or services from Israel. The board directed staff to return the full policy packet for further review at an upcoming work session and deferred final action on the specific DAF AP1 provision.
A motion to approve the packet as presented, excluding DAF AP1, carried by voice vote.
