Board approves first readings of multiple personnel and revenue policies

The Elma School District board moved through a set of policy items and approved first readings for personnel and finance policies on the agenda. Committee members moved and seconded approval for several policies—sick leave (policy numbers referenced in the transcript), emergency and discretionary leave (policy 5403), family and medical leave (policy 5404), leave sharing (policy 5406), and policy 6100 on revenues from local, state and federal sources—and the Chair called the votes; the motions carried with no recorded dissent.

Board members asked clarifying procedural questions about compliance language tied to the RCW and about timing for paid‑time‑off cash‑out notices, but no substantive amendments were proposed at the meeting. The approvals were first readings; the transcript records the board advancing the policies at their initial reading stage rather than final adoption.
