The committee reviewed Policy GDF, which governs support-staff employment. Staff said the blue language aligns with MSMA recommendations and cross-references Policy AC. Board members debated definitions — whether to use 'support staff' or 'non‑instructional' — and whether ed‑techs and extra‑duty coaches should be specifically captured.

Speaker 7 moved to present GDF to the full board for first reading with the following changes: (1) replace the term 'non‑instructional position' with 'support staff position' in the first paragraph, (2) replace the third paragraph with an explicit definition listing support staff categories, and (3) update cross‑references to current Policy AC. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously, 7-0. Staff will prepare the first‑read packet incorporating the edits.
