Board adopts updates to attendance, overdose-medication and Title IX policies
Summary
The board approved updated Policy 503 (Student Attendance), adopted Policy 516.5 (Overdose Medication) on second reading, and adopted Policy 522 (Title IX Sex Nondiscrimination) on second reading during the Nov. 12 meeting.
The Yellow Medicine East board approved three policy actions during the meeting: an update to Policy 503 (Student Attendance), the second‑reading adoption of Policy 516.5 (Overdose Medication), and the second‑reading adoption of Policy 522 (Title IX Sex Nondiscrimination).
Each policy was moved and seconded before being adopted by the board. The minutes record motions to approve Policy 503 (mover Sonja Pederson, second Matt Zempel), Policy 516.5 (mover Laurel Christianson, second Matt Zempel), and Policy 522 (mover Laurel Christianson, second Matt Zempel).
Why it matters: Policy updates govern student attendance rules, the district’s approach to overdose medication at schools, and compliance with Title IX nondiscrimination requirements. The adoptions were recorded as second‑reading approvals and will take effect as district policy per normal administrative processes.
