Committee adds 'military status' to equal‑opportunity and equal‑education policies
Summary
The policy committee approved adding 'military status' to both the district's equal opportunity employment and equal education opportunities policies; the presenter said the change complies with current law and the committee passed both motions by voice vote.
The St. Mary Parish Policy Committee approved adding "military status" to the district’s Equal Opportunity Employment policy and, separately, to the Equal Education Opportunities policy. The presenter said the addition is the only change in each policy packet item and that the revision responds to legal requirements.
For the employment policy, the presenter said the only change was the addition of "military status" to the nondiscrimination statement and that it was included in the packet for committee review. The committee moved and approved the change by voice vote.
For equal education opportunities, the presenter again said the only change was adding the term "military status." Miss Jones moved to approve and received a second; the committee approved the change by voice vote. No further clarifying details or dissent were recorded on these items.
