Board adopts harassment/bullying and parental-rights policy replacements and approves first reading on citizenship/flag policy to align with Idaho code

Administration presented two policy replacements and a first-reading policy adoption required by recent changes in state law. The superintendent said both the harassment/intimidation/bullying policy and the parental-rights and education policy have been updated and "the current version is up to date with what's required in Idaho code." Trustees moved and approved the two policy replacements.

Administration also presented a first reading for a citizenship/US Constitution/national flag and colors policy, noting anticipated additional requirements from Idaho code for sequencing in history classes. A trustee asked whether the policy cites the correct statutory reference; the trustee said they did not see a specific citation in the draft. The board offered a motion for first reading adoption and the motion carried.
