Unidentified Speaker 4, a board member, introduced the TASB policy update and said trustees would not read the full packet because it runs about 1,400 pages.

"Do you know I thought better of that? Yeah. Because it's 1,400 pages long," Unidentified Speaker 4 said. The speaker explained TASB and its attorneys review legislative changes and issue two sets of recommendations for districts: legal changes that reflect new law and local recommendations the board may accept or modify.

Unidentified Speaker 4 said they searched the packet for terms such as "diversity," "inclusion" and "equity" and reported that those terms only appear in references noting, in effect, that "due to SB12, there is no DEI." The trustee said the package contained few substantive changes overall but emphasized the board may later modify local-policy language if needed.

Following the summary, a motion was made to adopt TASB Policy Services' localized policy manual update (01/26) as presented. The motion was moved and seconded and the board voted, with the motion carrying 6-0.

The meeting record does not include text of any specific local-policy language changed, nor does it provide the TASB packet pages cited beyond the general update reference. The board noted they reserve the right to revisit local provisions if members identify language they wish to modify when reviewing the full packet.
