Summary
The policy committee reviewed 10+ policies on first read and several second‑read policies that incorporate recent state statutory updates (domicile, personnel files, medication administration language, extracurriculars and web pages); the board directed most to the consent agenda for final vote next month.
Dr. Sandy Ward presented a package of policy updates on Dec. 1 resulting from the fall 2025 PLS update and recent state law changes.
First‑read items included revisions to confidentiality and statutory references, dual enrollment language to reflect career and college pathways, technology policy reorganizations and updated cross‑references. One policy (3220‑related statutory change) was tabled for further review after late changes were received.
Second‑read items included domicile/residence language (4120) to ease enrollment for military families, new requirements for posted central office employee information, updates to personnel file descriptions, and changes in medical language (replacing "epinephrine auto injector device" with "epinephrine delivery system") to align with statutory terminology. Dr. Ward noted the updates are required by state law or recommended by PLS and that the majority of policies will be placed on next week’s consent agenda for the board’s final vote.
Board members asked clarifying questions; Dr. Ward said the district has been in compliance with posting requirements since August and will continue to coordinate cross‑references and legal citations before the second‑read vote.
