Board moves most policy changes to Oct. 20, tables textbook policy for Nov. 17 review
Summary
The board reviewed a slate of policy changes Oct. 6, moving most proposed additions/revisions to the Oct. 20 ACTION agenda and tabling Policy 7350 (Textbook Adoption and Instructional Resources) for further discussion at the Nov. 17 meeting.
Board members and administrators reviewed a package of proposed policy actions on Oct. 6, including additions, replacements, revisions and removals across governance and instructional policies.
Sarah Belanger and Dr. Adam Spina presented rationales for the changes: the board proposed adding policy 7050-F (Instructional Materials Opt-Out Form), replacing policies including 1300 (Meetings) and 7350 (Textbook Adoption and Instructional Resources), revising policies on board powers, committees, superintendent responsibilities, curriculum development, controversial issues, and student records/FERPA, and removing several procedural policies. Mrs. Deal tabled policy 7350 specifically for further discussion and action at the Nov. 17, 2025 meeting while moving the other listed policies to the Oct. 20 ACTION agenda.
The minutes list the policy numbers proposed for addition, replacement, revision and removal but do not include the full text of the proposed language nor the substantive reasoning for each change beyond 'rational' provided during the overview. The record identifies which policies will be considered at future meetings and records the procedural step to table 7350 for additional review.
