Wallkill Valley board adopts Comprehensive Equity Plan, reorganizes committees and gives AI policy a first reading
Summary
The Wallkill Valley Regional High School Board approved the district’s 2025–2028 Comprehensive Equity Plan, reorganized standing committees effective July 23, 2025, and accepted a first reading of a new Acceptable Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence policy at its June 24 meeting.
The Wallkill Valley Regional High School Board of Education approved several policy actions on June 24, 2025, including adoption of a multi-year equity plan, a restructuring of board committees and the first reading of an acceptable-use policy for generative artificial intelligence.
By roll call the board authorized the Affirmative Action Officer Team to develop a Needs Assessment and adopted the 2025–2028 Comprehensive Equity Plan for submission to the Executive County Superintendent of Schools. The motion records the plan will be implemented over a three-year period; the minutes do not include the plan text or specific program details beyond the adoption motion.
The board also voted to abolish several existing standing committees—Finance, Negotiations, Building & Grounds, Curriculum, Personnel, Technology and Policy—and to create a new set of committees with named chairs and co-chairs effective July 23, 2025. The reorganization lists committee assignments including Michael Davina as Finance chair and Cynthia Rock as Policy chair; the minutes provide committee membership names but do not attach committee charters or budgets.
In policy additions the board accepted first readings of revised policies 0155 (Board Committees), 5111 (Eligibility of Resident/Nonresident Students) and 5512 (Harassment, Intimidation or Bullying), and a new policy numbered 2365, “Acceptable Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI),” for first reading. As a first reading, the AI policy will return for a subsequent vote; the minutes show acceptance for first reading only and do not record discussion or content of the draft policy.
The board’s policy and committee motions passed on the roll call noted in the minutes. The minutes do not record extended public comment or debate on the equity plan, committee changes or the AI policy during this meeting.
