Board approves second reading of multiple student-impact policies with minor amendment
Summary
The board approved a slate of policy revisions on a second reading — including dress, discipline, bullying/hazing, student surveys (amending "instructional" to "survey" in 5.20.3a), use of peace officers, and restrictive procedures — after discussion focused on student discipline and community input; vote passed 6-0.
General Counsel Amy Moore presented the second reading of a slate of policies that the board had opened for public input after posting them for one month. Moore noted one community comment suggesting a wording correction in Policy 5.20 (student surveys) and said the slate would include an amendment changing the contested phrase from "instructional" to "survey" in section 3a.
Board members discussed student discipline (Policy 506), the role of community conversations in shaping policy, and the importance of accessible feedback mechanisms such as the anonymous Stop It line. One board member noted repeated community concerns about student behavior and asked that the topic receive continued attention in future work sessions.
After discussion, a motion to approve the listed policies (Policy & Procedure 504, 506, 514, 519, 520 with the stated amendment, 532, 541, 549 and repeal of 555) passed on a 6-0 vote.
