Board reviews multiple policy updates including Title IX, superintendent qualifications and leave rules
Summary
During the meeting trustees ran through second and first reads of a broad set of policy updates—superintendent qualifications/evaluation, Title IX signage and complaint handling, health services and paid leave—with several edits and version choices noted for later adoption.
Board members reviewed a slate of policy updates spanning human-resources, student services and compliance requirements, taking second reads on several items and conducting first reads on others.
Discussion included superintendent qualifications and evaluation language (board members favored a professional-development framing), Title IX complaint procedures and required signage, health services staffing and minimum first-aid coverage, harassment definitions and examples, and family/medical leave procedures compliant with Oregon regulations (OAR references were cited). One staff member noted OAR 581-022 in relation to nursing and health services requirements; the board agreed to keep some recommended language and to adjust other items for local context.
Members emphasized clarity and practicality (for example, retaining required terminology such as 'complainant' and ensuring required signage is posted). The board agreed on several language choices and noted staff would return final recommended versions for formal adoption on a future agenda.
Next steps: staff will incorporate edits, confirm required posting and reporting protocols (including Title IX coordinator contact information), and present final policy versions at a subsequent meeting for formal adoption.
