Policy committee presents multiple policy updates for board review
Summary
Policy committee chair (introduced as 'Mr. Paul') summarized several policy revisions on March 9 that the board reviewed tonight, including updates to student medication, weapons, wellness, student activity funds, law-enforcement coordination, school security personnel, social media guidance and opioid antagonist terminology.
The district's policy committee presented a package of policy updates that the board reviewed during the committee reports item.
Mr. Paul (policy committee speaker) summarized the March 9 meeting and listed several policies placed on the board agenda for review: policy 2.10.1 (possession and use of asthma inhalers, epinephrine auto-injectors and emergency medical supplies), policy 2.18.1 (weapons on school property or school-sponsored activities), policy 2.46 (school wellness updates following a recent food service audit), policy 6.18 (student activity funds, revised to prohibit using student activity funds to supplant district instructional funds), policy 8.05.1 (relations with law enforcement agencies, updated to reflect Pennsylvania School Code requirements on threat assessment coordination), policy 8.05.2 (school security personnel responsibilities), policy 8.16 (district social media policy revised after the Penncrest School District v. Cagle case) and policy 23 (terminology updated from 'naloxone' to 'opioid antagonist' to match state statute language).
Mr. Paul said the committee will meet next on April 27 and that legal review supported several of the recommended edits. The committee reported no old business at the March 9 meeting and stated the updates are available on the board agenda for consideration.
