Centennial board adopts updated nondiscrimination and civil-rights policy (AC)
Summary
The Centennial School District Board approved a revised Policy AC to add ‘‘civil rights’’ language and designate civil-rights coordinators; board noted final formatting will be cleaned by OSBA before posting.
The Centennial School District Board on Wednesday adopted revisions to Policy AC, expanding the district’s nondiscrimination language to explicitly include civil-rights protections and naming the district’s civil-rights coordinators.
At the board’s second reading, a presenter summarized the changes as adding “civil rights in addition to the non discrimination language” and identifying the assistant superintendent and the director of student services as civil-rights coordinators. The presenter said this second reading followed a prior first read and that there had been no questions between meetings.
Board members asked a clarifying question about bracketed language in the draft policy. The presenter said bracketed sections represented choice language and that, if the board approved the policy, executive assistant Missy Bridal would submit the approved text to OSBA (Oregon School Boards Association) to be cleaned up and posted; brackets and strike-throughs would be removed in that final posting.
A motion to approve Policy AC was seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records the ayes and the chair saying “the ayes have it.” The board did not read a roll-call vote aloud in the meeting audio.
The updated policy identifies the district’s assistant superintendent and the director of student services as civil-rights coordinators and will be posted in its final cleaned format by OSBA after board approval. No substantive amendments were recorded on the meeting audio.
Action: motion to approve Policy AC (nondiscrimination) — motion carried; recorded as approved in the transcript (individual roll-call votes not specified).
