Summary
On first reading, the Plano ISD Board approved multiple local policy updates including conflict‑of‑interest employment rules, student fundraising, student records/directory information and parent‑organization relations, plus the TASB policy manual update; all motions passed with unanimous support among trustees present.
The Plano ISD Board of Trustees approved several local policy updates on first reading during its June 10 meeting, accepting revisions to multiple policies and the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) localized policy manual update 01/2025.
Deputy Superintendent Dr. Selinda (Celinda) Freeman presented the package. The board approved: • DBD Local (employment requirements and conflict of interest updates); • FJ Local (student fundraising procedures, approving campus principals’ final approval authority for fundraisers); • FL Local (student records and clarification on release of directory information); • GE Local (relations with parent organizations; clarified roles and standard operating procedures); • TASB Local policy manual update 01/2025 (legal and local policy revisions recommended by TASB).
Trustees referenced work of the board policy subcommittee and legal review during discussion. Board Vice President Nancy Humphrey moved approval of DBD local; Trustee Catherine Goodwin seconded. Other motions were moved and seconded in sequence (motions and seconders are noted in the record). Each policy update was approved on first reading by a 6–0 vote at the time of the policy block (Trustee Michael Cook had stepped away), with legal review and district counsel noted as part of the vetting process.
Trustees and staff emphasized the extensive review work completed by the policy subcommittee and district legal counsel prior to the meeting. The board will consider any remaining readings or formal adoption steps as required by district policy and state law.
