St. Lucie board approves package of policy amendments and instructional-material purchases
Summary
After a public hearing with no speakers, the St. Lucie School Board voted to adopt a bundle of policy amendments and approved purchases of English language arts and world languages instructional materials.
The St. Lucie School Board voted to adopt a package of proposed policy amendments and approved recommended instructional-material purchases during its regular meeting.
Superintendent Dr. Prince opened the public hearing by reading the proposed changes, saying, "I recommend the board adopt the proposed amendments to the 2627 code of student conduct as well as proposed amendments to policy number 1211, whistleblower protection," and listing a broader set of policy numbers under consideration. No members of the public spoke during the hearing, and the board closed the public comment period before taking action.
A board member moved to approve the superintendent's recommendations; another seconded the motion and the board adopted the package by voice vote. The approved policy items included proposals listed as Policy 2627 (code of student conduct), Policy 1211 (whistleblower protection), Policy 1362 (anti-harassment), Policy 3120.04 (employment of substitute/short-term/part-time instructional staff), Policy 3410 (compensation), Policy 412 (employment of support staff), Policy 611 (internal controls), Policy 6112 (cash management of grants), Policy 6144 (investments), Policy 6233 (district budget), Policy 6234 (use of discretionary lottery funds), Policy 6608 (accountability and oversight of fundraisers and crowdfunding disbursements), Policy 6610 (school internal funds), Policy 6661 (instructional materials allocation), Policy 6830 (external financial audits), Policy 7450 (property inventory), and Policy 8141 (mandatory reporting and misconduct). The motions were recorded as carried by voice vote.
Because instructional materials were included among agenda items, the board voted separately on agenda item 17 to approve English language arts and world languages instructional materials purchases as recommended by the superintendent; that motion also carried.
