Glendale Elementary School District board approves policy manual reading, adopts IHA and JLIF policy language
Summary
The Glendale Elementary School District Governing Board unanimously approved the reading of revised Section B of the policy manual and approved two policy readings—IHA (Basic Instructional Program) and JLIF (Offender Notification)—during its June 12 meeting.
Glendale Elementary School District Governing Board President Martinez and the five-member board unanimously approved reading of revisions to Section B of the district policy manual and approved policy readings for IHA (Basic Instructional Program) and JLIF (Offender Notification) at their June 12 meeting.
The board voted 5-0 to approve the reading of the revised policy manual Section B. Board member Miss Bartels moved to approve the reading and the motion passed with all members voting “aye” (Mister Jaramillo; Miss Wilson; Miss Pimentel; Miss Bartels; President Martinez). The board later voted, again 5-0, to approve the reading of policy IHA (Basic Instructional Program) and policy JLIF (Offender Notification); Miss Bartels moved that reading as well.
The revised IHA policy requires observance-day instruction related to Sept. 11 for students in grades 7–12, with material described in the meeting as “age appropriate as outlined in statute.” The JLIF policy language implements statutory notification requirements about certain offenders: the policy, as described by Superintendent Segata Jones during the meeting, requires school notification when an agency has determined that an offender who has legal custody of a child is classified at a risk level specified by statute (level 1, level 2 or level 3, per the statute referenced in the revision discussion).
Board members did not debate alternate language during the meeting. President Martinez asked for individual recorded votes after each motion; each vote was recorded as “aye” by the five voting members. For both readings, the board did not record a second speaker on the motion on the meeting transcript.
The board did not adopt final policy wording as an immediate separate adoption vote at this meeting; the transcript records the approvals as readings of revised policy sections. The IHA and JLIF changes were presented by Superintendent Segata Jones as codifying statutory observance and notification obligations, and the board moved to approve the readings as presented.
Votes at a glance - Reading approval: Revised Policy Manual Section B — Motion to approve reading moved by Miss Bartels; outcome: passed 5-0 (Mister Jaramillo: aye; Miss Wilson: aye; Miss Pimentel: aye; Miss Bartels: aye; President Martinez: aye). Notes: motion recorded as a reading; no secondary speaker listed in transcript. - Policy IHA & JLIF reading approval — Motion to approve reading moved by Miss Bartels; outcome: passed 5-0 (same roll call). Notes: IHA adds Sept. 11 observance instruction requirement for grades 7–12 as described in statute; JLIF implements statutory offender-notification requirements when an offender with custody meets specified statutory risk levels.
The board did not cite specific statute citations on the record; the superintendent referred generally to “statute” when describing the IHA observance requirements and the offender-notification criteria in JLIF. The policies will return to the board in subsequent agenda steps as required by district policy and administrative procedure.
Any future agenda or implementation steps were not specified beyond the standard next steps for policy readings. The board moved on to future meeting items after the votes.
