Sep 10, 2026

The committee advanced several first reads — charter/transportation policy, health screenings (Policy 209), bullying/cyberbullying (Policy 249), and consolidation of working-period policies — and members raised transparency concerns about the new PSBA 'PolicyMain' formatting and missing revision dates in drafts.
