Policy committee advances most edited policies for March second reads, withdraws three items for revision

After reviewing a large package of edited district policies, the policy committee agreed to forward most items to the March board agenda for a second and final read but removed three items from the packet.

Chair summarized the three agenda sections and noted that the "cleanup" edits do not change policy impact and could be forwarded if no member objects. Later the committee confirmed it would not submit the educator diversity policy (5.1042), the magnet programs edit, and the student clubs and organizations policy for second read; all other policies discussed were approved to move forward for the March board meeting.

Staff also said they will audit the board-approved policies from the last year to ensure the website and board books reflect the correct, updated policies.
