Summary

Board confirmed Policy 528 (professional boundaries) must be in place by Sept. 1 and that DPI training will be included in staff in-service; the personal-electronic-device policy is active with clarifications to honor IEP/504 accommodations.

The board discussed two personnel and policy items: the possession policy for personal electronic devices and Policy 528 (professional boundaries).

Members confirmed the district will continue free school meals for students while adult pricing follows federal minimum-pricing guidelines; Tiffany recommended keeping adult prices aligned with federal minima. The personal-electronic-device policy is active and the board emphasized that staff should ensure students with IEPs and 504 plans retain access to medically necessary devices.

For Policy 528, the board reiterated that training from the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) will be used and the administration plans to include the required training in staff in-service sessions. Legal counsel recommended implementing the policy promptly even though some training deadlines extend through the school year; the board agreed to move the item to the full meeting for finalization.
