Votes at a glance: board approves consent agenda and safety and graduation policy updates
Summary
At the March meeting the board approved the consent agenda and adopted updated emergency safety policies and graduation requirement revisions; votes were unanimous among members present.
The West Linn‑Wilsonville School Board approved three formal items during its March meeting: the consent agenda, updated emergency/safety policies, and revisions to graduation requirements including deletion of an outdated early‑graduation policy.
The consent agenda passed by voice/roll‑call with all voting members recorded as "aye." The vote call recorded the following: Director Shoemaker — Aye; Director Sloop — Aye; Chair Taylor — Aye; Vice Chair Wyatt — Aye; Director Vidal — Aye.
The board adopted new safety‑related policies that require first‑aid supplies in district buildings and vehicles and set minimum staffing for first‑aid‑trained employees during school activities. The policies also add a requirement for at least two safety‑threat drills and two earthquake drills annually, and a first evacuation drill within 10 days of the start of school. The motion to adopt the policies carried unanimously; votes recorded were: Director Schumacher — Aye; Director Sloop — Aye; Chair Taylor — Aye; Vice Chair Wyatt — Aye; Director Vidal — Aye.
The board also revised policy IKF, updating graduation requirements in response to recent state legislation. The revisions incorporate a half‑credit in personal finance and a half‑credit in career and higher‑education planning and permit the board to recognize completion of the International Baccalaureate full diploma as fulfilling local diploma requirements (with specified caveats). The motion to adopt IKF and delete IKFA carried unanimously with recorded votes: Director Schumacher — Aye; Director Sloop — Aye; Chair Taylor — Aye; Vice Chair Wyatt — Aye; Director Vidal — Aye.
