Summary
Superintendent's office asked the board to refer several policies (on instructional materials, student internet use, absences, bullying, expulsions, child abuse response, behavioral health, wellness and tobacco) to the policy committee to align with recent state law changes.
The board referred a set of policies to the policy committee for review after staff identified state law changes that affected district policy language. Superintendent staff listed the policies by code: IFA (instructional materials), IFBGA (student computer and internet use), JBD (student absences and excuses), JCDAF (bullying and hazing), JDE (expulsion), JGCE (child abuse), JGCF (behavioral health support for students), JGB (school wellness) and JCDAA (student smoking, tobacco and marijuana use). A board member asked whether vaping would fall under the smoking/tobacco policy; staff said vaping was covered under a separate policy. The motion to refer the listed policies to the policy committee was moved and seconded and the transcript recorded that the motion carried.
