D105 board adopts IASB-recommended Press Policy 120 updates
Summary
The Board approved IASB-recommended updates to Press Policy 120, with changes spanning employee recording of violent incidents, substitute training, curriculum language, and law-enforcement visit procedures. The policy adoption passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The La Grange Elementary School District 105 Board of Education voted unanimously to adopt the Illinois Association of School Boards' recommended updates to Press Policy 120.
Superintendent Dr. Ganan reviewed the second reading and highlighted specific policy alterations: Policy 5:10 now explicitly allows staff to use district-issued equipment to record acts of violence; Policy 5:200 requires compensation for nursing mothers' reasonable time to express breast milk; Policy 5:220 requires substitute teachers receive emergency-procedures training; Policy 6:60 updates drug- and alcohol-education language across K–12 with age-appropriate guidance; and Policy 7:10 cites Plyler v. Doe and includes procedures for agency or law-enforcement visits.
Board member Mrs. Young moved to adopt the IASB-recommended updates; the motion carried on a roll-call vote with all members voting aye. The Board will incorporate the revised policies into district policy documents and procedures.
