The Hudson School Board made significant strides in enhancing student wellness and family engagement during their regular meeting on August 11, 2025. The board unanimously approved updates to two key policies aimed at improving the educational environment.

First on the agenda was the second reading of the wellness policy, which underwent necessary updates following an administrative review by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). The revisions focused on nutrition promotion within schools and included an updated non-discrimination statement. Board member Bryant moved to approve the policy, which was seconded by Megan, and the motion passed without opposition.

Next, the board addressed the second reading of the family engagement policy, which aligns with the DPI's Act 20 requirements. This policy includes provisions for parent notification regarding universal screening and literacy assessments. Molly moved to approve this policy, also receiving a second from Megan, and it too passed unanimously.

These updates reflect the board's commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive educational atmosphere for students and their families, ensuring that both wellness and engagement are prioritized in Hudson Schools.
