The Pullman School District board approved revisions to Policy 5401 (sick leave) after a brief presentation and motion.
Bob presented the revisions, saying they were updated "with guidance from WASDA" to simplify language and direct readers back to state law as statutes change. "I think this is a very good change," Bob said, noting the edits reduce redundancy and rely on the law for detail.
Board member Dina moved to approve the revisions to Policy 5401; the motion was seconded and the chair called for the ayes. The meeting record shows the board approved the revisions by voice vote with no opposition voiced during the call for the vote.
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting transcript; staff said the change is intended to reduce the frequency of policy updates that follow legislative sessions and to clarify the district’s reference to applicable law. The board thanked Bob for his work on the policy and moved on to other agenda items.
