Committee moves to merge Policy 170 into Policy 171 and clarifies notice provisions
Summary
The committee found Policy 170 redundant with Policy 171 and agreed to merge key language, include additional meeting locations, reference Wis. Stat. § 985.01, and insert 'calendar days' after the number 3 in Policy 171.2's agenda-packet timing guidance.
The Policy Committee determined that Policy 170 is redundant and agreed to merge its key language into Policy 171 during the Jan. 7 meeting. The minutes record updates including locations (library and boardroom), added legal references such as "Wis. Stat. § 985.01," and revised notice language. The text in the minutes documents an updated meeting-time entry shown as "6:30 PM 6:00 PM." The committee also agreed to add the words "calendar days" after the number 3 in Policy 171.2's paragraph describing agenda-packet distribution.
The committee emphasized clarity about public notice and closed-session authority and added language describing public schools as belonging to all people. Minutes recommend forwarding the revised policy language for first reading by the full board; the committee did not adopt a final board-level change at this meeting.
