Summary

Board Member Anne Schaefer reported first readings and planned renumbering of multiple harassment- and Title IX-related policies, including new policy 0111 on sex discrimination and related regulations; no final votes were taken — the changes were presented for first reading.

Board Member Anne Schaefer told the board that the Policy Committee had a December 3 meeting and presented a slate of policy first readings aimed at aligning district policy with Title IX requirements and renumbering existing anti‑harassment rules.

The items listed for first reading included a new 9520.6 (Rights of Employees to Express Breast Milk in the Workplace), revisions to 1120 (School District Records) and 8130 (School Safety Plans and Teams), and a set of new/renumbered Title IX‑related entries described in the packet (for example: “0111 Sex Discrimination and Sex‑Based Harassment Under Title IX - new” and associated regulation/exhibit entries). Schaefer said these changes come from the Policy Committee; board members did not take a vote on the policies at this meeting because they were presented only as first readings.

The policy report followed routine committee updates from Academic and Facilities committee members. Board Vice President Elizabeth Phillips and Board Member Max DiOrio provided brief verbal summaries of their committee meetings but did not propose immediate action. The items will return to the board for subsequent readings and potential adoption after the committee process.
