Camden board adopts NCSBA fall policy updates, suspends/limits some Title IX provisions for three schools
Summary
The board approved a package of North Carolina School Boards Association policy updates tied to recent Title IX changes, suspended policy 24‑10 to act immediately, and excluded Grandy Primary, Camden Middle and Camden High from certain provisions due to a local injunction application.
The Camden County Board of Education on Nov. 14 moved to adopt the North Carolina School Boards Association 2024–25 fall policy updates and to revise several district policy codes, while also addressing local applicability tied to Title IX injunctions.
Dr. Ratliff presented the packet and said the recommended policies align district rules with recent state legislative action. He described an implementation complication: an injunction affecting new Title IX standards applies in some surrounding states and, locally, can apply to an individual school if a student has a parent who is a member of Moms for Liberty. The administration told the board it had identified a parent member at three district schools and prepared policy language that would treat those schools differently under the injunction.
A board member moved to suspend policy 24‑10 to allow immediate enactment of the Title IX‑related policy changes rather than waiting the customary 30‑day review; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board then approved a series of motions to revise and adopt multiple policy codes as presented by the administration and to exclude Grandy Primary School, Camden Middle School and Camden High School from application of certain dash‑A policy codes where the injunction would apply. Later the board voted to reinstate policy 24‑10 "as normally enacted."
The administration recommended tabling the NCSBA updates for the customary 30‑day review but the board acted to move specific Title IX‑related policy language into effect immediately for those items considered urgent. The record shows multiple motions and voice votes; no roll‑call tallies or dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript provided.
