Board advances Policy Update 39-2 to include immunization, leave and wellness provisions
Summary
On first reading the board reviewed Policy Update 39-2 covering multiple policy revisions (e.g., immunization policy 5320 tied to MDE 2024 immunization requirements; epinephrine auto-injectors 5330.01; wellness 8510). Trustees moved to add the items for second reading, and the motion carried.
The board reviewed Policy Update 39-2 during the July 7 meeting, which consolidates and revises a range of district bylaws and policies. The packet indicates revisions to bylaws and policies including 0131.1 (Bylaws and Policies), 5320 (Immunization), 5330 (Use of Medications), 5330.01 (Epinephrine Auto-Injectors), 5350 (Student Health, Well-Being, and Suicide Prevention), and 8510 (Wellness).
The policy text in the packet references the Michigan Department of Education’s 2024 immunization requirements and notes that the epinephrine auto-injector policy adds immunity provisions set forth in applicable state law. Trustee Scott Moore moved to add these items for a second reading; the motion carried unanimously. Trustee Sherry Steffen suggested the board take care of the second reading as soon as practicable.
The packet also proposes rescinding Policy 8640 (Transportation for Field and Other District-Sponsored Trips) and folding applicable language into Policy 2340. The board did not adopt final policy language on first reading but advanced the update for second-reading consideration.
