Summary
The Ralston Public Schools board voted to remove several outdated policy items recommended by its policy service and agreed to review an updated communication policy at its February meeting; roll-call votes were recorded for each removal.
The Ralston Public Schools Board of Education moved and approved the removal of multiple policies it said are no longer recommended by its policy service.
During the board action segment, members voted to remove Policy 2019 (voting method), Policy 3052 (sales calls and demonstrations), and Policy 6052 (correspondence and night courses). Each item was moved, seconded and approved by roll call during the meeting.
Administration also recommended eliminating Policy 030042 (lending school books to children enrolled in private schools) citing a statutory change effective June 30, 2024; the board agreed to remove that policy at a future meeting. The board additionally discussed replacing language in Policy 030017 (closing a school site) with updated guidance on official communications and asked for further review of the proposed replacement at the February meeting.
The board's action streamlines the district's policy book to align with the policy service and statutory changes. No fiscal impacts were reported during the discussion.
What happens next: the recommended removals will be codified per the board's normal policy-adoption procedures; the board will revisit proposed replacements (notably policy 030017) at the February meeting.
