Committee of the Whole approves IU13 hosted-services, new social accounts and Lakewood Park closing-date change; solicitor flags Title IX policy rescission
Summary
At its Feb. 10 Committee of the Whole meeting, Mill Creek trustees approved an IU13 hosted-services agreement and the creation of three district social-media accounts and accepted a closing-date addendum for the Lakewood Park sale; the solicitor advised the board it will need to rescind its 2024 Title IX policy following federal guidance.
The Mill Creek Township School District Committee of the Whole met Feb. 10 and approved several procedural items carried over from committee work: the IU13 hosted-services agreement (compliance monitoring), creation of additional district social-media accounts and an addendum to a pending Lakewood Park sale that adjusts the closing date. The district solicitor also informed the board that the district must rescind its 2024 Title IX policy in response to a recent federal court ruling and Department of Education guidance.
The Committee approved the IU13 hosted-services agreement, which administration described earlier as monitoring clearance compliance for up to about 3,000 volunteers, coaches and outside contractors. The committee also approved the creation of three additional social-media accounts (the district currently operates five), with two of the new usernames to be reserved to prevent impersonation and one intended for active use. The communications director explained the accounts will be managed under existing staff processes and that no substantive expense was implied by the action.
Solicitor comments: the district’s solicitor alerted the board that the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky recently vacated the 2024 Title IX regulations; the U.S. Department of Education has advised districts to rescind the 2024 Title IX policy. The solicitor said the board would be asked at the next meeting to rescind the 2024 Title IX policy because the agenda for Feb. 10 had already been posted before the Department of Education notice arrived.
Other items approved in the Committee of the Whole included the personnel committee report and routine items carried forward from committees. The committee set the next regular board meeting for Feb. 24 and announced an executive session for personnel immediately after the meeting.
