Consent agenda
The board approved the full consent agenda by roll call (6‑0). The motion included accounts payable and an additional document related to a Tarkett payment arrangement; administrators clarified that payment would be made only after work verification.

English novel adoption
The board approved the English department novel adoption as presented (voice vote recorded as 6‑0). The department selected titles after teacher review and volunteer parent reviewers provided feedback. Trustees asked administrators to include direct links to books in future adoptions to aid reviewer access.

Policies and paragraph votes
The board approved policy C‑475 (school‑sponsored publications and productions) as presented (6‑0). The board also approved policy H‑200 (relations with special interest groups) as presented (6‑0).

On H‑250 (school library material removal procedure) the board approved specific committee language (policy committee proposed wording) for paragraph 6 (school‑level review) and for paragraphs 9–10 (appeals timeline and board review) by voice votes, each 6‑0. The board did not take a final vote on the overall H‑250 policy and asked legal counsel to advise on whether parents or students should be formal committee members before final adoption.

Other readings
Several additional policies were released for reading and will be returned to the committee or to the board later in the process (A225, A285, B100, B125 and other A/B policies listed in the packet).

Administrators said the practical options are: keep the current working relationship (where some transfers remain on the sending district’s rolls), open the district so transferred students would be enrolled on West Lafayette’s ADM (attendance count) and the state basic grant would follow each child, or close the district to new transfers. \"The funding of the child, the ADM funding would follow the child,\" an administrator explained. That means the district would receive basic grant dollars for any newly enrolled transfers if the board chooses to open enrollment.

Board members expressed concerns about capacity, program continuity and the potential need to \"right size\" staff if the district declines transfers. Superintendent and administrators warned that closing transfers could reduce enrollment enough to require staff reductions across positions, not only teachers. Several trustees called for a town hall so the community can weigh trade‑offs before a decision.

Trustees did not adopt a policy change at the meeting. Administration said existing transfer decisions will continue under current practice while the board considers whether to adopt an open‑district transfer policy, run a lottery if capacity is exceeded, or retain the current arrangement. The board asked staff to organize community engagement and return recommendations for board consideration.","Trustees discussed implications of a state change that eliminates charging a tuition difference for transfer students, heard administration explain funding and capacity effects, and directed staff to explore community engagement before deciding whether to remain open to transfers or change district policy.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6208289,"Trustees debate conflict‑of‑interest policy language; send county back to legal for clarification",963,3524000,4487000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749161-bd0a63c297e980386a3c9c4c9a6ab84c&start=3524&end=4487","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749161-bd0a63c297e980386a3c9c4c9a6ab84c/thumbnail_3524000.jpg","/articles/6208289/Indiana/Trustees-debate-conflictofinterest-policy-language-send-county-back-to-legal-for-clarification","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208289-4a257befbdba2d60fbeb85f5173db028/orig.mp4?Expires=1771015625&Signature=aFojbvwxIZ3l1lEJIVlnAqLTW-rez04wuzrt12wD1uEtGz2HH0OkmxTatzRB~wQ-giZcEyEEtLb3cSNBwIK7cZFJ2THIUGT4c9kM25dW-oo2-0zP374OxmEvEC5uPfwTBGVbtvPukmV3HtNglYsVurExl~WPV6E2Qq4OF6j1noChUjASQDVw9EWiAy6ajS3hG6KYIsBl4VYE9Wd64-eP0fURwjRdjPeIKzlY-RRyMKckml1IHt2l-gpRFURf~FTVKtQK8RxyIx7ETqMddg~6g1DUc-hLvLUCk-361WdEgaUU4xHMvFsR7RebPCpGeKDBWE6TLGCe-PLBV-PgIkc4QA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The board considered proposed revisions to policy A125 (nepotism, conflict of interest, gifts and use of corporation resources) and raised questions about how broadly the policy would restrict employees and the timing of disclosure requirements.

Policy committee language would require a school board member who believes they may have a potential conflict of interest to disclose it annually in January using the state form provided in the packet. Several trustees asked why that annual disclosure requirement applied specifically to board members and not employees. One participant said some districts request annual disclosures from all employees; others require disclosure only when a conflict arises.

Board members asked for clarification about the policy’s scope. Trustee George noted paragraph text that says employees \"shall not engage in or have a financial interest in any activity that conflicts or raises a reasonable question of conflict\" and asked whether that would prohibit small, ordinary transactions (for example a staff member selling baked goods). Counsel and administrators responded that the policy language provided by legal counsel is targeted at larger contracts and procurement decisions that come before the board, not routine personal transactions.

Trustees did not adopt final policy language. The board asked administration to return the proposed A125 revisions to legal counsel with specific questions about (1) whether employees should make annual disclosures, (2) how contracts and purchases are defined for the policy, and (3) whether board members should disclose potential conflicts both at the organizational meeting in January and as conflicts arise during the year.","Board members questioned whether the draft policy’s language on employee financial interests and board disclosures is sufficiently precise; they asked legal counsel to clarify annual disclosure timing and how the policy should treat employees versus board members.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6208296,"Board narrows school library review process, asks legal counsel for guidance on committee makeup",2815,3761000,6576000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749161-bd0a63c297e980386a3c9c4c9a6ab84c&start=3761&end=6576","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749161-bd0a63c297e980386a3c9c4c9a6ab84c/thumbnail_3761000.jpg","/articles/6208296/Indiana/Board-narrows-school-library-review-process-asks-legal-counsel-for-guidance-on-committee-makeup","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208296-dd8d2270d2d606d9071144ded6ba46ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1771015625&Signature=LgdonWtEbpNZiJg6uRXVk~3duSILp21aQPIaIYOuIs3lNItcbc-tk2iM4F7AEKdmS7d3rCodHvRQL4z0JsJ4O~N4N0QwMQEkce1LWqXOTdimQ9up2f1ztfGa7uJpqndSiq7KjTRiYcUjt4xKbp0x-DsSgTY7S72oZOv6KVbhzcGiDgZRPnLEdc5YxBdZtoam8BV9lFIFrWFEvh9vrkhaYIfzpjZ~WDqRL0I3HGjU3RVV1C66HX2EIS3E1B79QVRIz830MVZtaREa857RsRtsHqKwuX222MySxtZI3ZsT85tjwwd2p765VQD2XMv0lsKHs1ySd~sbj5DTZa464vdfIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The West Lafayette Community School Corporation’s board reviewed revisions to policy H250, the school library material removal procedure, and approved committee language that keeps initial decisions at the school level while asking legal counsel to clarify committee membership.

Rachel, speaking for the policy committee, outlined a draft that adds a live link to the removal form and says \"a request for removal of school library material will be reviewed with consideration for the specific school where the concern originated.\" The committee's recommended text specifies the review may result in removal from an individual school’s library rather than a district‑wide decision.

The board voted to retain the policy committee’s proposed language on paragraph 6 (school‑level review) by a 6‑0 voice vote. The board also approved the committee’s proposed revisions to paragraphs 9 and 10 (appeal timeline and board review) by a 6‑0 voice vote. The tally recorded the following yes votes: UA, Rachel, Dacia, Lawrence, George and Amy.

Members debated whether parents or students should serve on review committees. Several trustees said including a parent representative could improve community confidence; others warned it could present conflicts if complainants sought seats on the panel or expose students to contentious public debate. The policy committee left the superintendent discretion to add parents or specialists as appropriate and the board asked legal counsel to advise on whether the policy should require parent or student members.

The board did not complete a final, full‑policy vote. Trustees directed staff to send the revised H250 language and specific questions about parent and student participation back to legal counsel and to return with a recommended final policy in August.","The board discussed the library material removal procedure and agreed to committee language for school‑level review, approved several paragraph edits, and asked legal counsel to advise on whether parents or students may sit on review committees.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6208300,"Board reviews draft strategic plan; staff to revise for August vote",1516,1658000,3174000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749161-bd0a63c297e980386a3c9c4c9a6ab84c&start=1658&end=3174","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749161-bd0a63c297e980386a3c9c4c9a6ab84c/thumbnail_1658000.jpg","/articles/6208300/Indiana/Board-reviews-draft-strategic-plan-staff-to-revise-for-August-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208300-fbd8fcdea5f5400a686af48d9ea551e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771015625&Signature=eDikpj1uh~Z5DtSFFpuqtRjCmfv83ndoUZzJnUgJn1KPBojjN5-sJ4o8jdRnvrHFFuhvsmaRphFdZVEBQNggNRU4BhI-oqDLKGYfWtj0MvgecEzWsMGqunFb-BfjJCkpmXCSyvPDN2Ov2qU1U0kLepJkoG1Fptmj8OwZFkFPawYI9h~EIjbuDJslL9LhxXKR4dysvqbln8RifdshIsdAokRGfZqDbYnpu4f5IG-6duhvVANyhCQ248Hr2GDjdb7J~2k3PmEtj0u6RvL6xJvoVZzzs7ujVJw7VitOUYEFKBDSv-pgU9kUMd-QwB87thOVi0VGxF9iYS7KudYNa-tVSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The West Lafayette Community School Corporation Board of Trustees reviewed a draft strategic plan that administrators say reflects input from the district’s community and staff.

The draft, presented by Mr. Jones, summarizes work from nearly 2,000 survey responses, in‑person school meetings, and staff workshops. \"We have collected nearly 2,000 survey responses,\" Mr. Jones said, adding the plan is intended to be an eight‑page document with a one‑page overview for broader distribution.

Board members asked for more specificity on several items, including who will lead building committees, how the plan will use quantitative and anecdotal data to drive a communications campaign, and how the district will measure academic rigor versus student workload. Dr. Greiner said the plan’s listed leaders are intended as conveners rather than exclusive participants and that additional data sources — including state transfer reports and alumni anecdotes — could feed the work.

Members also asked staff to avoid duplicating work already done by the Education Foundation, clarify that \"expand capacity\" means \"service capacity\" rather than increasing seats, and add language that spells out board governance and annual progress reporting. Mr. Jones said some initiatives are phased for years 1–2 and others for years 3–5 to manage staff load.

Board members asked for clearer progress measures in areas where the draft used the phrasing \"continue,\" with several members recommending more aspirational language or explicit evaluation points. Dr. Greiner and staff agreed to revise language to better distinguish continuous improvement from maintaining existing programs.

The board did not vote on the draft. Dr. Greiner said administration and Mr. Jones will incorporate board feedback and present a final version with a recommendation to the board in August.","Board members and plan authors discussed an eight‑page draft strategic plan and one‑page overview, asked for clarifications on leadership, measures and timeline, and directed staff to prepare a final draft for the board to consider in August.","actionData","errors"]
