Summary

The board approved a set of policy updates, including a clerical amendment to policy 3421 (Title IX/equal employment) and rescinded an older extreme-heat policy in favor of a state-compliant update; votes were taken by voice and carried.

The board reviewed several policy items and took votes to adopt changes recommended by the policy audit. The items included a first reading on duties of the school attorney and second readings (waiver of third reading and approval) for Title IX/equal employment, anti-harassment, and an extreme-heat policy aligned to state law.

Policy chair Sid proposed a clerical amendment to the retaliation language in Policy 3421 to match the phrasing used in related policies. A motion to waive the third reading and approve Policy 3421 with the clerical change passed by voice vote. The board also approved taking policies 7.3'7.6 as consent (including rescinding an older heat policy) and later took a consent motion for personnel items (8.1'9.1).

All motions that were moved, seconded and recorded in the transcript carried by voice vote with affirmative "aye" responses.

The approved policy changes will be reflected in the district's policy manual and posted consistent with usual procedures.
