Summary

The policy subcommittee recommended that six policies move to first reading and that two policies (BHD and GDD) be dropped as redundant or operational; the committee voted to accept the 1st reads and drop the two policies.

The Policy Subcommittee reported progress on its review of the district policy manual and recommended moving six policies to a first read and dropping two policies judged to be redundant or operational. Committee member Mark Lorenz told members the subcommittee reviewed Section I and recommended the following for a first read: ADC, BEDH, GBED, GBEE, GBGE and GCRD. He said two policies — BHD (community relations) and GDD (staff support/vacation days) — are better handled in manuals or collective bargaining agreements and should be dropped from the policy book.

The chair asked for a motion, members moved and seconded the first‑read recommendation, and the committee approved the motion by voice vote. A separate motion to drop BHD and GDD was similarly moved, seconded and approved. The committee clarified that a second read and formal vote will return at the next meeting for the policies advanced tonight.
