Board approves student trip to France, policy updates and new curriculum items
Summary
At the meeting the board unanimously approved a spring-break trip to France (April 11–19, 2026), updates to several 4000-series policies (including fingerprinting/legal reference changes), a new AP Psychology textbook and a new course in Environmental Chemistry and Materials.
During unfinished business the board took several votes. Greg moved to approve the spring-break trip to France (April 11–19, 2026) as presented at a prior meeting; Christine seconded and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
The board then approved three policy updates in the 4000 series that incorporate updated legal references, additional protected classes and revised fingerprinting requirements tied to Criminal Justice Information Services. Board discussion noted ongoing Title IX-related changes and that the policy language had been reviewed by the policy committee; members voted unanimously to approve the updates.
On curriculum items the board approved a new AP Psychology textbook (mover Allan; second Christine) and a new course titled "Environmental Chemistry and Materials" (mover Greg; second Christine). Both motions passed unanimously. Board members expressed brief procedural comments (for example ensuring enough copies of the AP textbook are available) but offered no substantive objections.
Mr. Stevens moved to adjourn; Greg seconded and the meeting ended with unanimous approval. The board announced the next meeting for Dec. 16.
