Board reviews policy revisions in first reading to ensure compliance with federal guidance ahead of 2025–26 handbooks
Summary
Doctor Hall presented several policy revisions as a first reading; the changes are intended to align district policy language with federal guidance and laws. The board will consider approval at its July meeting so the updates can be included in the 2025–26 student handbooks.
Doctor Hall, the superintendent, told the board that several policy revisions are before them as a first reading and that many of the changes bring district policy into alignment with federal guidance and federal law.
"Essentially, what these have done, is they have, in many cases, are just putting us back in compliance with federal guidance and federal laws," Doctor Hall said, noting that some changes are small language updates and that the board will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the items at the next meeting.
The intent, Doctor Hall said, is to bring the policies back for approval in July so the district can finalize new handbooks before the start of the school year. The board did not take action on the first reading at the June 5 meeting; the item was presented for review and discussion.
