Summary

Committee members agreed to minor wording updates and renumbering for policy 5120.6 (procedures for reporting child abuse and assault) and to check cross-references; staff will confirm correct policy references before the board review.

The committee reviewed proposed technical edits to policy 5120.6, which governs procedures for reporting child abuse and assault. Speaker 1 raised that the policy number is unwieldy and asked whether the committee could change numbering; members discussed renumbering into the 5000 series (for example, 51206) for clarity.

Speaker 2 said some cross-references in the draft (around lines 68–72) appeared incorrect and committed to double-checking and correcting referenced policy numbers before moving forward. The committee indicated the changes were minor and could be approved through the board process without substantive rework, and members agreed the edits could proceed with staff verification and a waived second read where appropriate.
