Weber School District staff placed two employee policies on first reading and described the changes to the board.

Heidi Oliver presented revisions to policy 79100, the employee corrective‑action policy. She said the update clarifies grounds for discipline, distinguishes performance‑evaluation processes from conduct‑based termination and pulls statutory definitions from negotiated agreements into the policy text. Oliver said the only substantive change was removal of a previous procedural requirement that administrators notify provisional employees who become career‑status after three years; she said state law does not require that notice and the notification step was not consistently happening in practice.

Oliver also reviewed proposed changes to policy 71100, the employee discrimination and harassment policy. The board was told that the employee policy was revised to align definitions with the district’s student discrimination and harassment policy and to incorporate employment‑specific state and federal legal references. Oliver said the district created formal complaint routing (a designated email/address) so complaints do not get tied to a single person and then lost when that employee leaves a role.

Oliver said several short policies would be repealed or combined into other policies to reduce duplication; she described these as procedural clean‑ups with no substantive changes. The policies on first reading will return for a future vote after board review. No vote occurred at the study session.
