Board approves revisions to grant and student‑interview policies, rescinds an older standard
Summary
On single readings the board adopted Policy 519 (student interviews by outside agencies) and Policy 721 (uniform grant guidance, including cybersecurity updates), and rescinded Policy 617 per MSBA recommendation; all votes were unanimous.
The Kenyon‑Wanamingo board approved three policy actions on single readings: adoption of Policy 519 (interviews of students by outside agencies), adoption of Policy 721 (uniform grant guidance with clarified equipment definitions and added cybersecurity requirements), and rescission of Policy 617 (insurance/Prep/high‑school standards) following guidance from the Minnesota School Boards Association. Motions were moved and seconded and each item passed on voice votes.
Board members noted redlined updates were available for review. Policy 519 was described as aligning statutory language for interviews of students, and Policy 721 adjusts small‑purchase thresholds and equipment definitions and adds cybersecurity language to comply with grant requirements. The rescission of Policy 617 follows MSBA recommendation because the policy was tied to an older Profile of Learning framework.
