Summary

The board reviewed a lengthened revision to policy 3241 (student discipline) tied to recent legislation and emergency OSPI rules and took the policy up for adoption; policy 3112 (social-emotional) was presented for first reading and will return for adoption.

Staff told the board that proposed changes to policy 3241 expand the policy from about a paragraph to two pages to align with recent legislation and emergency Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) rules; staff said procedures remain under legal review and will be adopted after counsel completes its review. The board was asked to adopt the policy to remain compliant with statutory and emergency-rule changes.

In a separate item, staff presented policy 3112 for first reading. Staff said the policy formalizes social-emotional practices already in the district—advisory programs, ASB efforts and building-level initiatives—and will return for adoption at a future meeting. No final vote on 3112 occurred at this meeting.
