Board reviews policy updates including Narcan language and adopts second reading on federal award guidance
Summary
Board accepted a first reading updating policy on students with life‑threatening health conditions to reflect Narcan availability on campus and approved a second reading updating procurement and grant guidance for federal awards.
The board received two policy updates from the policy committee: a first reading to update the policy on students with life‑threatening health conditions and an updated procurement/grant guidance policy (second reading) for federal awards.
The first reading clarifies that Narcan is on campus and aligns policy with current practice. A board presenter explained the district has trained staff to administer Narcan and said, "Narcan is an inert substance. So it will not harm you if you have access to it. It literally just revives you if you're... unconscious from opioids." The policy change is intended to bring written policy into alignment with practice and staff training.
Board members voted to approve the second-reading policy related to federal-award procurement language to stay current for audits. The first-reading item will return for a second reading in a later meeting, per the normal policy process.
