Board adopts policy package on first reading, including wellness/recess and medical dosing updates
Summary
Board reviewed and approved on first reading a packet of updated board policies (policy numbers updated, addition of neurodiversity nondiscrimination language for CTE, guidance on nasal epinephrine dosing and training, and correcting wellness/recess policy numbering).
The board reviewed a set of updated board policies that reorganize and replace outdated numbering and add new language. Speaker 4 summarized the changes, including the policy 1005 expectations for board responsibilities, a yearly board self‑assessment (1820/1821) now reflecting an RCW, additions to CTE policy to include sensory and neurodivergent nondiscrimination language, and an update to dosing and training protocols for nasal epinephrine and similar medical interventions.
Board members noted the district was already following most of the practices in the new language. The board moved and seconded the first reading of the policy package and voted in favor; the chair announced the motion carried for first reading. Staff said they would bring any final edits and return for the subsequent reading and formal adoption.
