Board reviews TASB policy update 01/26; district to adopt local revisions and draft implementing regulations
Summary
District staff reviewed TASB policy update 01/26, highlighting changes affecting meeting timelines, AI guidance, locker-room designations, surveillance video access for certain special education classrooms, reporting timelines for child-abuse incidents, and parent-portal requirements; board instructed administration to proceed with local revisions.
A district policy presenter (speaker 9) reviewed the TASB Policy Update 01/26 legal and local changes and told trustees the board does not take action on legal text but should consider local policy revisions. Key local items included revisions to board meeting notice timelines (BE/BED local), cybersecurity notification (CQB), a new AI policy requiring tighter regulations and staff training, and changes affecting private spaces/locker rooms (CSA local) that require labeling of single-sex spaces per the legislative language presented.
The presenter also summarized that surveillance-video procedures for certain special education classrooms (EHBAF local) now require a parent-request process to view footage within a specified review period, that reporting timelines for incidents of child abuse have been shortened (48 to 24 hours), and that the district must define a parent-portal mechanism that reaches central administration and the school board (FA local). Trustees voted to add/revise/delete local policies per TASB 01/26 and tasked administration with developing regulations and public-facing timelines for grievances and other procedural elements.
