Red Rock Elementary board approves package of district policies and adopts consent agenda
Summary
At its Sept. 9 meeting, the Red Rock Elementary School District No. 5 board unanimously approved a set of district policies addressing meetings, parental rights, special education, reporting and student conduct, and adopted the consent agenda including expenses and payroll vouchers.
The Red Rock Elementary School District No. 5 governing board approved a package of district policy updates and adopted the consent agenda at its Sept. 9 meeting, voting 3-0 on each item. Luis Vargas, board president, made the motions that were seconded by Kayti Kahn, board member, for each approval.
Board members approved a slate of policies reviewed by district representative Peter Dwyer. Policies approved included Policy 1-302 (Governing Board Meetings and Open Meeting Law); Policy 1-401 (Parent/Legal Guardian Rights in Education); Policy 4-101 (Board Authority to Employ); Policy 5-201 (Patriotic Exercises and Observance Days); Policy 5-203 (Students with Disabilities, referencing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act); Policy 5-401 (Police Interview Notification); Policy 5-402 (Department of Child Safety Interview and Custody); Policy 5-404 (Administration of Medication); Policy 3-403 (Technology); Policy 5-305 (Student Code of Conduct); Policy 4-204 (Mandatory Reporting); and Policy 5-303 (Student Records). Each motion to approve was made by Vargas, seconded by Kahn, and recorded as approved 3-0.
Votes at a glance: each policy item listed above was approved 3-0 (Vargas yes; Kahn yes; Sal Garcia yes). The board also voted to delete a duplicated listing of Policy 1-401 from the agenda, a procedural housekeeping action that passed 3-0. Following the policy and agenda actions, the board adopted the consent agenda, which included the August 20, 2025 meeting minutes, the student activities account statement for August 2025, the August donations report, expense vouchers #2605 ($34,299.81) and #2606 ($12,514.47), and payroll vouchers #4 ($161,987.85) and #5 ($161,334.91). The consent agenda was approved 3-0.
Why it matters: the approved policies set district expectations on parental rights, student health and safety, reporting obligations, technology use, and procedures for board meetings — matters that affect school operations and student services. The consent agenda actions finalize routine financial and administrative items for the district.
The board set its next meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. The district noted that records and documents related to the meeting agenda are available at the superintendent’s office during normal business hours.
