Policy committee schedules backup board‑secretary appointment and flags nepotism, vehicle policy reviews
Summary
Committee agreed to place a backup board secretary appointment on the next board meeting agenda, noted the district lacks a nepotism policy found in other districts, and asked staff to review vehicle/insurance policy after confirming the district has four police vehicles.
Committee members discussed several shorter agenda items at the July meeting. They agreed to add an item to the next board meeting to appoint a backup board secretary (candidates noted: Rachel and Liz Nace) and to report back with recommendations. Members asked whether the role carries additional pay and noted the superintendent’s office already performs overlapping secretarial work.
Elizabeth flagged that Great Valley School District has a nepotism policy (numbered 304) and suggested drafting a local version; the committee asked staff to look into it. Separately, a member asked for a future review of district vehicle policy and insurance (including off‑duty and non‑work use). Members confirmed the district has four police vehicles across campuses and directed concerns to the superintendent’s office for investigation before board members approach departments directly.
There were no public comments and the committee scheduled its next policy meeting for August 12 at 10:00 a.m. in the district administration boardroom. The meeting adjourned at 3:54 p.m.
