Board updates visitor policy; approves first read of employee alcohol and drug testing policy
Summary
The board adopted revised Policy 6400 on visitors to schools (second reading) and approved Policy 7300 (employee alcohol and drug abuse) on first reading to add federal CDL drug-testing requirements for district drivers.
Weber School District trustees adopted revisions to Policy 6400, "Visitors to the Schools," on a second reading and approved Policy 7300, "Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Employees)," on a first reading after staff presentations.
Nut graf: The visitor policy revision updates definitions and clarifies registration, classroom and parent-access procedures; the employee alcohol-and-drug policy adds language from federal regulations regarding random drug testing for drivers with commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs).
District attorney and policy staff presented Policy 6400 for a second reading and reported no public feedback since the policy was introduced at the prior meeting. The revisions update visitor-registration requirements and clarify student-visitor access and parent access procedures.
Policy 7300 was presented on a first read; staff said language was added to align the district’s policy with Code of Federal Regulations requirements for CDL holders, including random-testing procedures and follow-up steps.
The board voted to adopt Policy 6400 on second reading and to accept Policy 7300 for first reading. Staff said they will continue the public-review process and return Policy 7300 for a second reading at a later meeting.
Ending: Board members asked staff to ensure PTAs and volunteer coordinators receive the updated visitor policy and to continue work on implementing drug-testing procedures for CDL drivers per federal rules.
