Board members discussed proposed edits to JLC, the district’s policy on vaccination opportunities on school property, during the Oct. 23 meeting. One director proposed deleting language that would allow any vaccinations to be offered on school property and replacing it with a statement that vaccinations must take place at medical offices rather than at district facilities. Other board members and administrators recalled the board’s prior decisions during the COVID‑19 pandemic and said the current JLC language was intentionally narrow: it permits standard school‑based vaccination opportunities (for example, routine flu clinics) but places limits on emergency‑use‑authorization (EUA) vaccines by requiring parental presence and positive identification for minors.

Administration and the superintendent said the policy was originally adjusted to require parental presence for EUA vaccines and that school‑based vaccination clinics are a service many parents have used. The superintendent added the district has not recently hosted school-located vaccination clinics and that decisions about use of school facilities can be revisited but asked that the board consider the practical and equity implications of an outright ban on any school‑based vaccination opportunities.

Outcome: No formal action in the meeting excerpt. Board members expressed differing preferences; the status quo was preserved during discussion and administration will continue to operate under the current policy pending any explicit future board direction.
