The Upper Dublin School District Policy Committee meeting held on August 20, 2025, focused on several key topics, including updates on local policy reviews and the status of specific policy repeals.
The meeting began with a welcome from the committee chair, who expressed hope that everyone enjoyed their summer. The primary announcement was regarding the social media policy, which is currently under review. The committee plans to finalize discussions on this policy in October, with the new director of technology, Ms. Yenser, contributing to the process.
The committee also reviewed the minutes from the previous meeting in June, which were approved for moving forward. A significant point of discussion was the local policy review, particularly concerning the potential repeal of policy number 9.7.1. Committee members confirmed that this policy has already moved to the board level for legislative review and is scheduled for a second reading in August.
Concerns were raised about ensuring that the repeal process does not hinder the establishment of a new board for the upcoming school year. The committee agreed to keep the discussion open for future meetings to ensure all members are aligned on the next steps regarding this policy.
Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to maintaining effective governance and policy management within the Upper Dublin School District. The next steps will involve further discussions on the social media policy and monitoring the legislative process for the repeal of the specified local policy.
