The McFarland School Board approved the first reading of a package of policies on April 6, covering student supervision and welfare (1213, 3213, 4213), student identification numbers and cards (5135), personal communication devices (5136), student fundraising (5830), purchasing (6320), crowdfunding (6605), nondistrict-supported student activity accounts (6610), gifts/grants/bequests (7320), digital content and accessibility (7540.02), artificial intelligence (7540.08), child abuse and neglect (8462), and district support and school support organizations (9211, 9215). The motion, made by Megan Chatman and seconded by Meredith Hughey, carried 5-0 on first reading.

The first-reading approval means the board advanced these policies to the next step in the district policy process, but the minutes do not supply a timeline for second reading or adoption.
