Board rewrites a large block of its policy manual

What happened

On February 24, 2026 the board gave a first reading to a substantial set of policy changes. New policies cover library material and student sun protection. Revised policies cover nepotism, board member election and appointment, the duties of the public school accountant, notification of promotion and transfer opportunities, statutory curricular requirements, resource materials, the special education Medicaid initiative and budget preparation. The board abolished both of its separate sexual harassment policies, for teaching and support staff, and its Covid-19 healthcare recordkeeping policy.

Why it matters to families

Two of these reach families directly. A new library material policy and a revised resource materials policy set the rules for which books and materials are available and how a challenge to them is handled. Abolishing two standing sexual harassment policies is the kind of change that matters even when it is a consolidation, because it changes where staff and families look for the rule.
