Board schedules second reading of cell-phone policy; several staff-policy updates presented for first read
Summary
The committee previewed a second reading for a new personal electronic devices policy and first readings of revisions tied to Title IX, nondiscrimination, disciplinary definitions and capital-asset thresholds.
Taylor, staff member, walked the committee through procedural and policy updates slated for the June 3 agenda. The committee will consider a second reading and potential adoption of a personal electronic devices (cell-phone) policy; Taylor said no changes have been recommended since the first reading.
Taylor also summarized five first reads: Policy 3206 (pregnant and parenting students) — revised language to route grievance procedures through student discrimination grievance procedures following recent Title IX changes; Policy 5010 (staff nondiscrimination) — updated per Washington Association of School Districts (WASDA) with a new definition of discriminatory harassment; Policy 5012 (parental/family/marital status and pregnancy for staff) — terminology updates mirroring student policy changes; Policy 5281 (disciplinary action and discharge) — a proposed new definition of "excessive absenteeism" as a potential basis for discipline; and Policy 6801 (capital assets) — an updated capitalization threshold reflecting Office of Management and Budget guidance.
Taylor said these are informational at the committee stage and staff and board members may ask questions before first and second readings proceed. The committee did not vote on policy adoptions at the meeting.
