Summary

Staff reported technical/housekeeping edits from Neola to several policies — including policy 5136 (technology resources) and a rename of the bullying policy — as informational items; no vote was taken.

Dr. Seibert told the committee that a set of technical corrections from Neola, the district’s policy vendor, are included as informational updates. The changes add the written policy titles beside policy numbers and rename some policies for clarity.

Examples cited included listing the title for policy 5136 (Technology Resources and Other Electronic Equipment) and splitting cellular-phone language into a separate policy (5136.02). Dr. Seibert said the bullying policy formerly titled "Bullying and Other Forms of Aggressive Behavior" has been shortened to "Bullying" and is referenced as 5517.01 in the packet; the changes are marked as "Neola 2024 edit." He said Julie (staff) and he review Neola updates and then identify SDW (School District of Waukesha) edits where district-specific phrasing should be preserved.

The committee received the update as informational and had no substantive concerns. No formal action was taken.
