Summary
The board conducted first readings of Policy 3417 (Catheterization), 3418 (Response to Student Injury or Illness) and 3419 (Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications); public commenters raised concerns specifically about the catheterization policy.
The Southside School District Board held first readings May 27 on three student-health policies: Policy 3417 (Catheterization), Policy 3418 (Response to Student Injury or Illness) and Policy 3419 (Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications). The minutes record those items as "First Reading" entries; no final votes were taken on these policies at this meeting.
During the public-comment period, "Comments were made regarding the Catheterization policy," the minutes state, indicating community concern about how the district handles catheterization for students. The minutes do not identify individual public commenters or the precise nature of the concerns. The board placed those policies on the agenda for initial consideration; subsequent meetings or a second reading would be required for adoption.
