Board votes to rescind policy 2264 and revise policy 2266 citing federal court guidance
Summary
Trustees approved a motion to rescind district policy 2264 and adopt a revised policy 2266 to align with recent court rulings; administrators said the change follows legal direction and will be posted online.
At the meeting the board moved to rescind Policy 2264 (nondiscrimination on the basis of [text redacted in transcript]) and to adopt a revised Policy 2266 to remove references inconsistent with recent court rulings.
A board member made the motion; the chair seconded, and the motion carried on a voice vote. Scott (district administrator) explained the change is intended to align district policy with applicable court decisions. He referenced the Whitaker v. Kenosha Unified School District decision and noted that different federal circuit decisions can create varying guidance; "the Whitaker versus Kenosha Unified School District case still does set the law in Wisconsin," Scott said, adding the district must follow the law and the counsel's recommendation.
Why it matters: trustees said the motion is a legal compliance measure, not a statement of district values. Scott said administration has worked to be transparent and would update the district website to reflect the policy change and procedures.
The board approved the motion by voice vote. Administration said staff will review related procedures and communicate updates to staff and families; the revised policy language and administrative procedures will be posted to the district website.
