Resident asks whether repeal of policy 5755 removes student protections; administration says policy was redundant and review will be public
Summary
Resident Sarah Dolan asked whether abolishing policy 5755 will remove protections for students and staff; Superintendent Geppert said the district found policy 5755 redundant with other policies and that any changes will be considered in public meetings.
During the agenda‑only public comment period on March 16 resident Sarah Dolan asked whether abolishing policy 5755 would remove protections for students and staff and whether other protective policies might also be rescinded.
Superintendent Geppert responded that the district is reviewing executive orders and board policies and that policy 5755 was identified as redundant because its content is covered under two other policies that will remain in effect. Geppert emphasized that policy review and any modifications will occur in public meetings and that the district will continue to provide information at public board sessions.
Board members also urged residents to use official channels (email to the district) for questions and encouraged attendance at the March 20 public input session on the budget.
The exchange underscores community concern about policy changes and the board’s stated intent to handle policy revisions in public sessions.
