DTSD Webinars: Thanks. I would like to call with the or call to order the September eleventh policy meeting.
DTSD Webinars: We'll start with a roll call. Lindsay Cook Board member.
DTSD Webinars: She'll be done. Yes, Stacy Winslow, Superintendent
DTSD Webinars: Maria Memi School Board. I'm sitting in for Bob Bennett Lindsay Drew School Board.
DTSD Webinars: Jason Rif Center, representing the Administration.
DTSD Webinars: Colby Hollinger, Citizen Advisor, Donna Cronin School Board.
DTSD Webinars: I don't see anybody online.
DTSD Webinars: Do we need to?
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, Dr. Cook, I'd like to make a motion to accept Mrs. Mummy in place of Mr. Bennett for this meeting today.
DTSD Webinars: Okay.
DTSD Webinars: can we get a second? Second? Okay. all those in favor? Aye, any opposed. Okay? And then, do I need to be voted into feature? Okay, perfect. Okay. So moving on.
DTSD Webinars: can I get a motion to approve minutes from our last meeting.
DTSD Webinars: So move. Lindsey drew second. Donna Cronin all those in favor. Aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, so we are moving on. Well, there's no unfinished business. So we're going to start with our revised and reviewed policies. And it looks like the first one on here is policy 0 0 6 meetings.
DTSD Webinars: But I.
DTSD Webinars: Oh, this was a Psba change. Correct?
DTSD Webinars: Oh, no, I'm sorry. Yeah, this wasn't what we talked about last meeting, though. This is a Psba change
DTSD Webinars: saying last meeting when you're talking about school board meetings last. Yes, we were talking about virtual meetings and terms and policy. Yes, that we made no changes to, and moved on so when I saw it on here, that's what I thought it was, but it was not that.
DTSD Webinars: It looks like these are just. It says it's bum to exhibit compliance with the Sunshine Act.
DTSD Webinars: So any comments or
DTSD Webinars: changes? Okay.
DTSD Webinars: all right. So can we get, can I get a motion to approve. Policy. 0 0 6. The changes here so moved
DTSD Webinars: as reviewed for the to the full board, or as revised.
DTSD Webinars: second.
DTSD Webinars: Connor Cronin, all those in favor. Aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, moving on, we have policy.
DTSD Webinars: 123 interscholastic athletics. And that is a revision.
DTSD Webinars: Dr. Cronin. Was that a suggestion of yours. Yeah. So, Dr. Cook, if I can, can we combine or look at 1, 23, and 3 or 4 at the same time? Because it's it's the the same. Recommendations are being made. Oh, okay, yep. So F, policy 3, 0 4, and policy
DTSD Webinars: 123. Okay. And I'm not sure if it would have to go in both places, but if it does, obviously the same wording would be required, and the and the only the wording that I realized was missed on. Here is, it was the intention was to say, high school coaches.
DTSD Webinars: which is very different than middle school coaches, but that may, people may not agree, but that's where the the fairness is more of an issue, because middle school there's different philosophies for coaching, and there's in high school.
DTSD Webinars: but I'm fine either way. Can say coaches or high school coaches. if if that's
DTSD Webinars: that's an issue with anybody?
DTSD Webinars: Does everyone have in front of him. Should I read it, or
DTSD Webinars: is everyone good? You're proposing to add, What's in yellow? Is that correct? Sorry I'm late to the game right now? That's perfectly fine. Yeah. So both this one in the hiring of staff and the and the employment of district staff policy 304, and then the athletic
DTSD Webinars: adding the same sentence in and basically, I think it kind of it reflects discussions that have been ongoing just we've never really got to doing it. But
DTSD Webinars: The wording is in order to maintain fairness, transparency, and an optimal team dynamic. The Board will not permit parents or student athletes to serve as coaches for the same team in which their child is a player, grandfather, consideration for current coaches. So we have discussion. It's so. A couple of thoughts that I have there. Is. It's really hard to find coaches number one and number 2.
DTSD Webinars: I think coaching issues are across the board, whether they're parents of the players or not. So can you explain to me what your thought process process process is for this?
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, basically. if you're on a high school competitive team.
DTSD Webinars: You want to make sure that you are given the same advantages of anybody else, and and and really comes from the fact that this first happened at the Hershey Soccer Club level, which is obviously obviously a recreational program. But they found, maybe about a decade ago, like they were really ahead of the bar. They decided that once kids got into
DTSD Webinars: I think it might have been
DTSD Webinars: seventh grade. I don't. I think it wasn't even elementary, I think, was once they gone to seventh grade. They said.
DTSD Webinars: parents can be managers for the team, but we are going to hire coaches to make sure that it's fair across the board. Just no, no perception. We want to remove the perception of any type of
DTSD Webinars: lack of fairness for everybody, and and that seemed to
DTSD Webinars: that seemed to work. Well, that model has worked really well, and I know it's been a I'm gonna say, controversial, but a topic that has come up in terms of
DTSD Webinars: you. You not necessarily go hand in hand that if you're a parent you're going to not have fairness on the team. But
DTSD Webinars: the perception
DTSD Webinars: is, I think, even more critical, so that all students feel that my coach is unbiased. I have as good a chance of anyone at a high school competitive level.
DTSD Webinars: That's that's the thought process. And that was the thought process of the Pike Hershey Soccer Club. I can. II can see that. But I think
DTSD Webinars: just off the top my head cause I'm walking in here cold to this is
DTSD Webinars: this is a big statement to make.
DTSD Webinars: to take out, like
DTSD Webinars: to take out a whole group of people that could potentially coach when it's hard to find coaches. And I would be interested in what the like statistics are specific, like for what you're trying to change here.
DTSD Webinars: Like, if you're trying to change this here, like, how many parents do we have as as coaches. And how many issues have maybe potentially come up before we kind of just like
DTSD Webinars: cause. That's kind of big like, I mean, that's like that. The board that we would not
DTSD Webinars: on the same team.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, I don't know. And II know that we've had problems with coaches not being fair, and they there were none of their kids on they were not like, I see what you're saying with what you're saying, but you can't say it's because you're not being fair because your son is on the team. You don't have any child. Sorry. But then this is an unfair disadvantage to that parent.
DTSD Webinars: That's yeah. I don't I, just II this is not enough information to make such a bold change to a policy like I'd like to hear how many parent coaches do we have in the district? What type of issues like? Have we had anybody come forward with issues which always isn't the most accurate because people don't come forward. I don't know.
DTSD Webinars: I don't know how to think about that. Our current numbers, I don't think, are that big at the high school level. But there would be a grandfather clause, because obviously, if you've been in the district and you've been coaching, and I'll send your child comes through. That's very different than oh, my son is is going to be on the High School soccer team. I want to now, coach.
DTSD Webinars: because you could also have the opposite happen where parents are just like harder on their kids, you know. So I just don't. I don't know. I don't know how hard it is. It's really just a perception. There's there's it's really what the perception is of parents that they're they wanna have. All, all students should have a fair shot at a high school level sport without having the controversy
DTSD Webinars: of potential bias by a parent like I said this. The model was from the Hershey Soccer Club that I mean, you know, parents have run that for years. And then they made a conscious decision. We're going to pay
DTSD Webinars: coaches that are non-parents.
DTSD Webinars: Parents could be the managers. But play time practice will be run by
DTSD Webinars: paid unbiased coaches.
DTSD Webinars: So it's not a new phenomenon, for sure. So yeah, so
DTSD Webinars: this is. Lindsay Drew. I,
DTSD Webinars: in theory, don't disagree with with the idea. I worry about an application. For where we are right now, the first thing that stands out to me is
DTSD Webinars: to to make a policy change that limits parents from being coaches of student athletes while we permit parents to be teachers.
DTSD Webinars: Is kind of my first part of it, because
DTSD Webinars: that that seems to kind of be unbalanced. In in that regard. The the other part of it, too, is, while I can appreciate Hershey Soccer doing that those hours are somewhat different. I know one of the challenges that we have with coaches. Are in High School athletics is finding folks who are able to coach
DTSD Webinars: with the hours. It often works well with an educator's schedule, an ability to be there for the time.
DTSD Webinars: and then the third that would stand out to me is
DTSD Webinars: where the athletic director would be on that, because I look to the athletic director as being the person responsible for the recommendation of hiring for any coaches, and then also for implementing the athletic policy, the supervision of those coaches and making recommendations or changes based on feedback or their perspective.
DTSD Webinars: So it feels like we're kind of
DTSD Webinars: intervening in the ads process and ability to manage coaches by, you know implementing that.
DTSD Webinars: that's a good point. So this is Lindsay Cook. But I think this is a hard one, because I agree, like in an ideal situation. A parent wouldn't be a coach with listening to what you said, Lindsey. I almost see, like, maybe this is something we could table and look for the data like Maria had mentioned, of the coaches of like parent coaches, complaints versus regular as well as the athletic directors. Perspective on it, cause there's a couple of other things to like looking at the wording. If this is something we would move forward with.
DTSD Webinars: I think we need a definition of grandfather in there, because if you have an eighth grader who's playing field hockey, and you're the high school coach like it's one year technically being grandfathered. So I think that would need to be more clear. I also think head coaches versus assistant coaches would need to be more clear, which
DTSD Webinars: or no, you said, well, when you said middle School versus High School, I would think this would just be high school. But I also think, if if this is something that we really think is a problem. Maybe we would start with head coaches, because if coaches, if coaches are hard to come by, anyway.
DTSD Webinars: maybe we just focus on the head coach first and then I think you make a good point about teachers like we don't draw that line in the schools, and teachers can teach their own kids.
DTSD Webinars: and I think you just have an obvious pool of parents who like, if your kids really good at baseball and like, or they like baseball, or vice versa, like you might want to be the baseball coach. And because that's been your life. So again, an ideal world. I think that at the Varsity level at least, a parent would not coach their own child.
DTSD Webinars: but I do. I would appreciate the athletic director's perspective on this. I think I think he would be a big part of this conversation. So one thing that pops into my mind as you were talking, and I can't help but think of him. Is is Coach Painter, who's our current football coach
DTSD Webinars: also works in the school, and now his KI don't know, and I'm not sure if his child has graduated or not. But like so if you're like, let's say you're a great football coach for 10 years. Your kid is all of a sudden a freshman. You got a grandfather, you'd be grandfather. That's the grandfather. Okay, it's not fair.
DTSD Webinars: that's odd. I but I thought II don't know. II don't think I have I enough information? Well, yeah, I mean, I assume that we'd bring in Mike to to
DTSD Webinars: help weed out the specifics of the need
DTSD Webinars: versus perception, and all that to, you know. Make sure the wording was right, and if it was necessary, but at least I thought this was a good place to start. But obviously policy Committee, I mean, I mentioned it to Bob. He said, yeah, bring it to policy committee. So it's really to start the discussion. Actually, not an old discussion, frankly. But to
DTSD Webinars: get, you know, restart the discussion, get Mike's input and have a little bit more idea. Just just to, you know, level of playing playing field. And I agree with what you said about teachers, except, you know, when if I'm teaching a classroom.
DTSD Webinars: you know I am teaching everybody. I'm not saying, oh, you're gonna start because you're my daughter. There's no starting. There's no play time. So there'd be, you know, rare situations that you know kids would be like. Oh, I'm
DTSD Webinars: I'm not getting to play because I'm not
DTSD Webinars: the daughter, or whatever you know what I mean. So it's it's a little bit different,
DTSD Webinars: I think, than than teaching. But in any case, I mean, I think it's a good discussion and worthwhile, because there are a lot of kids who, you know, at at any club or activity, I mean, especially sports. There's
DTSD Webinars: there is often
DTSD Webinars: an important outcome. You know, there's there are things that students can achieve from athletics if they're given the opportunity, and if they feel they're not given the opportunity because of a bias, because there's a parent coach
DTSD Webinars: that's more legitimate than just. Oh, not a parent. But they don't like me. Well, that's that's a little bit different. A parent is a more direct bias. So it's just, you know, perception.
DTSD Webinars: so I think it's important discussion. I would also I would also just be curious from the Ata position and the collective bargaining agreement. If there would be any feedback on there, because while I think that
DTSD Webinars: in this position that the Board
DTSD Webinars: would be able to implement something like this, I could see where there could be you know, some confusion as to opportunity for question additional. You know roles are limited service contracts for coaching, or all limited service contracts do fall underneath the HA. Agreement, so it could create an unfair advantage or disadvantage to an Hea member over another one. And I'm not sure how that would be, you know, memorialized kind of going to that grandfather language, and and how that
DTSD Webinars: you know, could potentially create a difficult situation for opportunities.
DTSD Webinars: I don't know if
DTSD Webinars: thinking about it. I'm not sure that this would be the appropriate avenue. But is this a conversation we could have in the Athletics Committee? Or is this more of maybe just kind of bringing in Mike, because obviously, we don't want to talk about specific situations in a public setting. But I'm wondering if this without like, II, personally don't feel comfortable bringing this like on for a 30 day review without really having a sense of what it is and without having data. And Mike's input, so I'm just kind of thinking out loud is the best way to get his. Input.
DTSD Webinars: My thinking would be that we would maybe want to share the these with him, with the, with the wording, and then invite him to the next policy meeting just to keep lines between committees
DTSD Webinars: drawn. Okay.
DTSD Webinars: this proposal it. It brings up the
DTSD Webinars: survey right? Like. So the process in the athletic department. How do we get? And I don't know. We might have a process.
DTSD Webinars: because this comes up when we have a problem. But like, how do we get feedback on coaches
DTSD Webinars: if they're showing favoritism? If certain like that. that's really
DTSD Webinars: I don't know. Do we have? That's where it comes back to me of. That's the role of the administration at that level to do and to handle from whether it would be a
DTSD Webinars: coaching situation to
DTSD Webinars: make sure that the coach, you know, keeps those boundary lines. If their child's an athlete, but also, you know, from any discipline or handling it. I would be a little nervous for
DTSD Webinars: the Board to wait into conversation
DTSD Webinars: and policy making based on like that granular level
DTSD Webinars: when that's somewhat outside of our purview.
DTSD Webinars: To your, to your question, Maria Mike sought the input of the Athletics and Activities Committee last year to develop a survey that I believe he plans to implement this fall for the first time. So so that would be the process for students and parents, or to give feedback for the coaches, because Yup.
DTSD Webinars: it was a pretty thorough survey about everything from like the coach, and playing time to if practice ends on time to student perception of the coach, it was really the whole program. Yeah. So I do think that information would come through in the survey. If people feel comfortable if they feel, if they fill it out, then I think that's another layer of
DTSD Webinars: and I think it is intended to be anonymous, so usually get a little bit better.
DTSD Webinars: I don't like anonymous surveys, but I also understand why we use them to get honest feedback on something like that.
Okay.
DTSD Webinars: so we, you know, present this to Mike. As for his
DTSD Webinars: feedback. just at a meeting, or I, I'd like to give it to him ahead of time to to write, to review and then invite him to
DTSD Webinars: a meeting we'd have to check and schedule, of course, because
DTSD Webinars: he doesn't plan on policy meetings for for the fall, but we can. Just I can look at, see what the next one is, and see if that fits a schedule to be able to attend.
DTSD Webinars: So then I would move to table the proposed revisions for policy
DTSD Webinars: 1, 23, and policy 304 to the November Sixth
DTSD Webinars: Policy Committee meeting, pending review and feedback from the athletic director.
DTSD Webinars: Second, second, sorry.
DTSD Webinars: Alright. All those in favor. Aye, any opposed? Okay. Thank you for that discussion. Yeah, thank you.
DTSD Webinars: Moving on policy to 16.1 supplemental discipline records.
Yes, sir.
DTSD Webinars: this policy has been pretty much completely rewritten. So I just remove the old policy and and and put in what Psba is recommending for the new policy. And these were all Psba recommendations. Yes, yep.
DTSD Webinars: thank you for putting in the bold. Yeah, that is so helpful.
DTSD Webinars: II think it just came like you could have taken credit for it. So we're hard to tell
DTSD Webinars: any discussion on policy 2 16.1.
DTSD Webinars: Is there any part of this that is outside of something required by law or school code. or that would be
DTSD Webinars: material, and, you know, change to spark.
DTSD Webinars: not to my knowledge. You know, as the the notes say, it's based on new code.
DTSD Webinars: You know.
DTSD Webinars: Rule 1, 63. Release information to schools. So that's a summary of it. I have not gone in and read the whole
DTSD Webinars: the whole role.
DTSD Webinars: Do we currently have a Wellness committee by that name?
DTSD Webinars: Is it called a Wellness committee? I know we've had different names.
DTSD Webinars: We do. Is it called wellness committee.
DTSD Webinars: Yes, we're not on that policy right now.
DTSD Webinars: Oh, oh, I'm sorry I'm reading. Oh, my gosh! I'm so sorry
DTSD Webinars: I can't scroll beyond that one, so I don't see anything before it. Sorry scrolling.
DTSD Webinars: I'm curious where it says the information may be used for school disciplinary decisions only. If the student was under the supervision of the board at the time of the incident.
DTSD Webinars: What is that board of school directors?
DTSD Webinars: The last paragraph on the first page.
DTSD Webinars: you see that. Can you tell me where that is? Again the last paragraph on the first page?
Slowly.
DTSD Webinars: because it's talking about the information that would be exchanged between the Juvenile Probation Office and
DTSD Webinars: the school district just seems strange that like that's not something that would come through the board. That would.
DTSD Webinars: I would think, be protected information. It seems like what they're what they're trying to delineate here is that if the student, when they're saying under the supervision of the board at the time of the incident so enrolled and in school
DTSD Webinars: under this current. Okay. peace and the act took place. I think it's to make sure that previous juvenile delinquency. Records are not being used in current discipline decisions unless
DTSD Webinars: whatever is happening is happening in or around the school during the time of enrollment.
DTSD Webinars: So previous things should not be used against a student in determining discipline unless those qualifications that are outlined are met. That's the way I'm reading that whole section to
DTSD Webinars: to be. Yeah, prior to this number, was it be able? It was able to be used. I don't know if it was able to be used, or if it just wasn't specifically outlined.
DTSD Webinars: Okay, that makes sense. It's a wordy way of putting it. But that makes sense.
DTSD Webinars: Is there any concern with the addition of that, within 1,500 feet of school property cause, I noticed before. It says on school property. Now, so let's say, something happens on a Saturday at a house that's within that 1,500 feet of school property. Is this now something the school will be involved in where previously they may not have been.
Hmm!
They're gonna have.
DTSD Webinars: That's a good point. Cause. If it's not on school property, I wouldn't think
DTSD Webinars: 1,500 feet is 6,000 yards. Certainly
DTSD Webinars: that's one of those spaces that in my mind is is can be very tricky for schools, anyhow, because we do have responsibility from door to door.
DTSD Webinars: So there's there's that element.
DTSD Webinars: And we have policy that outlines that students can be held responsible at school for what happens off
DTSD Webinars: campus, or if they're at a club sport event, you know, like at a hockey game or the doing something online policy now allows for that. If it has impact and disruption on this whole environment. So so the 1,500
DTSD Webinars: feed is actually in school or in Pennsylvania code. So that's alright stop
interesting.
DTSD Webinars: Any other discussion for policy 2 16.1.
DTSD Webinars: So if so, if it is in the school code, we have to go with it. We can't alter 1,500. You certainly can. But serious. I would recommend not. Okay. Yeah.
DTSD Webinars: I I'd be comfortable recommending it be approved to 30 Day Review. I think personally, as a board member. I'll probably want to read it a little bit deeper and understand the connections to code prior to a full board vote. But
DTSD Webinars: for the purpose of the committee, I'd be comfortable moving into 30 day review since it's Pspa recommended. Agreed.
DTSD Webinars: Was that a motion?
DTSD Webinars: Yeah. Okay? Second, all those in favor.
DTSD Webinars: Aye, any opposed
DTSD Webinars: alright
DTSD Webinars: moving on here
DTSD Webinars: to policy. 2, 46, school wellness.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah. So this policy was last reviewed in 2,019. And the only reason it's here is the policy does say should be reviewed every 3 years. So we're we're past the 3 year, Mark. We tried to get this policy on in June, and that meeting was canceled then in August, and that meeting was not canceled, but went longer than we thought. So it's here now, just
DTSD Webinars: so we can review it and put a new date on it and and move on. We did have a Wellness committee meeting. Donna, so we do have a wellness committee.
DTSD Webinars: That has a board member on that committee and talked about the policy, and no one saw any need for changes at that time. So it's really just for
DTSD Webinars: review.
DTSD Webinars: Does the Wellness Committee meet once a year is that we have been meeting once a year? We used to meet once a month, and once every 9 or once a
DTSD Webinars: 4 times a year. And now we're down to once a year. Okay?
DTSD Webinars: And we don't. I should know this, but we don't have any
DTSD Webinars: blockades of any of our facilities anymore. Like, I know, the 3 22 turf field used to be locked. Now it's open, and I love seeing people on that field students practicing all the time, and and the turf field is still open for use. It's locked. Turf field is locked. It will be locked at night and open in the morning. Oh, right? Right? Exactly like dust to dawn thing. Yeah. Okay.
DTSD Webinars: because you used to be. We had to have a membership and stuff like that is that. Still, that's been gone for years. I just wanna make sure
DTSD Webinars: we only use a 3, join 2 terms. That's why I wasn't sure what was happening at the church. We just said we want to encourage students to use our facilities. Families use our facilities for keeping active. I just wanna make sure they were
DTSD Webinars: open and accessible. Thank you. You're welcome.
DTSD Webinars: Any other discussion. Okay, can I get a motion to move this policy with the revisions to the full board? So so just review just review revisions. Okay, yes, thank you.
DTSD Webinars: Motion 2. Move to the full board as reviewed. Second, Maria. Mammy.
DTSD Webinars: all those in favor. Aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, that will move to the full board.
DTSD Webinars: Next is policy 251 students experiencing homelessness, foster care and other educational instability.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, so the only changes at the the very end of the policy. Update a language for students with Ieps.
DTSD Webinars: and these are the Pspa recommendations.
DTSD Webinars: I'll make a motion to to move it to 30 day for to accept the review for 30 day review.
DTSD Webinars: or as revised as a visions. That's right, let's revise all those in favor. Aye, any opposed
DTSD Webinars: okay, that will move to the full board. We already looked at policy 3. 4. So we are tabling that.
DTSD Webinars: So we are looking now at policies for review. Starting with policy. 8, 13. Other insurance. Yeah. So every policy that we're looking at now, we're not recommending any changes. It's just part of our cyclical review of policy. So if someone sees something they have a question about, we probably should
DTSD Webinars: table that or bring it back to the next meeting, so we can get some answers, but otherwise they're simply just for review. And to put a reviewed data at the top. So we know that the Board looked at it.
DTSD Webinars: So can we?
DTSD Webinars: Should we go through them individually, or can we make a motion to do them as a group unless anyone's to pull any out
DTSD Webinars: you? We normally go through individually. But you you can
DTSD Webinars: a
DTSD Webinars: approval all at one time. It's up. It's up to you.
DTSD Webinars: Your call
DTSD Webinars: there any discussion for this policy. 8, 13. Other insurance.
DTSD Webinars: Okay. Can I get a motion to move this policy to 30 day review?
DTSD Webinars: So moved Lindsay. True, second, Donna Cronan.
DTSD Webinars: all in favor. Aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, we'll move that to 30 day review policy, 814. Copyright and fair use policy.
DTSD Webinars: I have no comment. There's a lot here
DTSD Webinars: any discussion on that one.
Okay.
DTSD Webinars: can I get a motion to move this policy to 30 day review?
DTSD Webinars: So moved, Lindsay drew
DTSD Webinars: second Donna Cronin, all in favor. Aye, aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: All right, we'll move that to review policy 8, 15 acceptable use of technology resources.
DTSD Webinars: So I see that this was last updated
DTSD Webinars: or revised in 2,016. Are there any changes that would need to be made, or that, you see, would be valuable with the access of technology that students now have, like the one-to-one. And it was just they have so much more now than they did in 2,016.
DTSD Webinars: II haven't heard anything from. Well, Phil's not here from our tech department. You know, and I know the students review it every year, and Dr. Winslow, have you? II haven't heard anything I have not, and they as I'm scrolling through it because it has been
DTSD Webinars: a minute since I scroll through this one again. As I'm looking through
DTSD Webinars: the pieces that are in here are the pieces that I would most want to be in here. If they weren't in here I'd I'd want them to be
DTSD Webinars: And what I'm seeing
DTSD Webinars: while devices themselves, I feel like have gotten speedier. And that period of time, and we have more of them available to our kids. The I think the issues that are addressed in this policy are
DTSD Webinars: are the ones that we want to be addressed.
DTSD Webinars: Any discussion? I just have a question.
DTSD Webinars: I'm not sure if it would be this one, or even the previous one do we have? Is there anything that's been, added Jason, regarding the use of like Chat Gpt.
DTSD Webinars: or in terms of technology, or as
DTSD Webinars: this wouldn't be copyright. I don't know if Psb has gotten into that. Yeah, okay, just curious. Thank you.
DTSD Webinars: Okay.
DTSD Webinars: can I get a motion to move this policy to 30 Day review. So moved Donna Cronin. Second Lindsey. True, all those in favor. Aye, any opposed.
Okay.
DTSD Webinars: Moving on.
DTSD Webinars: do we do the student version separately. I didn't. Even I wasn't even looking at that. Was there? Okay.
DTSD Webinars: is this what the students sign like? A condensed version of this, or we had some community correspondence about technology, I think. And we said that we use this policy right for teachers and students. Yes, to sign. Okay.
DTSD Webinars: any discussion.

DTSD Webinars: Okay, so that will move on to the full board. Policy 8, 18. Contracted service personnel.
DTSD Webinars: Any discussion on
DTSD Webinars: alright? Can I get a motion to move Policy 8, 18 to 30 day review. So moved, I'm going second. Lindsey drew all those in favor. Aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: Okay. Move that one to the full board. Policy. 8, 22 is the aed
DTSD Webinars: policy. I'm not familiar with this one.
DTSD Webinars: We have all of ours up. And didn't. We have some sort of battery issues and things? But now everything is kind of back up and running. Yeah, they were all at their expiration date. That's what it was. Okay.
DTSD Webinars: Back order over the summer. What? We waited for the new ones to come in, so we rented a couple to make sure that we had them available, and now they are all up and running perfect.
DTSD Webinars: There's one in every building, right? There are multiple in every building
DTSD Webinars: except the Ecc. There's one in the Ecc. Do the smaller building. Is anybody trained to use them. I mean, I think the whole point of them is that they're supposed to be easy to use. But do are people trained in how to use them around the building is that part of
DTSD Webinars: I believe there are some people who are trained.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, my understanding is, the school nurses are trained. Yeah, but if I recall correctly, too, when we were doing the
DTSD Webinars: athletic trainer contract it, and it was part of the Rfp. As well as part of the language of the contract that they are. We have them there to be able to train coaches and personnel as district requests. So Yup.
DTSD Webinars: okay, okay. And do you know, if are they? Is it part of the
DTSD Webinars: the athletic trainers cart to have? Is it's like, Is there a roving a ed they have. They have a portable unit that when they're in the building it's with them in the building, and when they're out and about. It's with them in the Gator. Perfect, I assume. So I just make sure.
Thank you.
DTSD Webinars: I should say they have 2 portable units. There's one for Middle School High School.
DTSD Webinars: Any other discussion?
DTSD Webinars: Can I get a motion to move? Policy? 8, 22 to 30 day review. So moved Lindsey. True, second, Donna Cronan, all in favor. Aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, moving on policy, 824, maintaining professional adult student boundaries.
DTSD Webinars: So my only. And I was reading, this is maybe a consistency thing on
DTSD Webinars: page
DTSD Webinars: 3, section 11,
DTSD Webinars: adding
DTSD Webinars: the verbiage and the building principle or designee
DTSD Webinars: to it, because
DTSD Webinars: this was go about going to a student's home without a legitimate educational reason and prior permission from the students. Parents and guardians out currently reads. But prior to an 11 inviting same things, different household, but they have consistent language, building principle or designee in there as well, too, as with some other. So I would think that number 11 is the one I'm I'm recommending.
DTSD Webinars: Maybe add it in similar to Number 10, the building principle or designee as well, too.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, it's I didn't notice that. But you're right like then 12 and 13 all do mentioned building principal.
DTSD Webinars: That was the only one that really wasn't consistent with that.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah. And generally. If I mean in my experience, if a teacher, even the social workers going out, the building principals usually notified.
DTSD Webinars: that's part of the it's part of our practice to notify. So it would be
DTSD Webinars: probably makes sense to put that language in there. So adding, end the building principle or designee to each of those appropriate statements, because I'm just say building principal, I think just number 11. I think the rest do say parent, or I think the rest do say building principal starting at 10, but we wanted to say or designee. I don't think so. Not with those statements. I don't think we want someone else designated in those.
DTSD Webinars: And so for 11, just adding
DTSD Webinars: this, well, it already, says the student's parent guardian, and then just adding the phrase, and the building principal could just to make sure I fully understand, and that we're not
DTSD Webinars: accidentally doing something.
DTSD Webinars: Would this policy apply to like
DTSD Webinars: the Sro?
DTSD Webinars: If if the Sro didn't have a purpose for reasons of like law related things. But maybe there was like a wellness check which might not be an educational reason.
DTSD Webinars: Would that preclude them from doing that without there being policy. No, for the social worker, no, no, but and a wellness check is something we'd be aware of. Also, we would, we would. Probably the somebody in the school system would be initiating that wellness check based on a report that we received. Okay, so it'll it would automatically flow through the building principle. Anyway, I just want to make sure we didn't inadvertently. Yeah, no good thinking. But no, I don't think that would happen. Okay.
DTSD Webinars: so with that minor change, can we still move it forward? Or, yeah, would just be a revision. Okay, I'll just fix it for the 30 day review. Okay, so can I get a motion to move? This policy. 824, with the revision to 30 day review.
DTSD Webinars: So moved on to Cronin. Second, Lindsay. True, all those in favor. Aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, so thank you, Colby. Yes, thank you. That's good. Catch
DTSD Webinars: all right. Next policy is 8, 27 conflicts of interest
DTSD Webinars: there any discussion on this policy?
DTSD Webinars: Are we still reviewing, or can I get a motion to move this policy? It's a little long. I didn't want to stop anybody.
DTSD Webinars: Can I get a motion to move this policy? A 27 to 30 day review?
DTSD Webinars: So moved Donna Cronin.
DTSD Webinars: the second Lindsay Drew. All right. All those in favor. Aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, that will move on to the full board. And the last policy is 8 32 educational equity.
DTSD Webinars: And this policy was just adopted a few years ago. But since we were doing all the 800 s. Just thought, it's easier to include it and have an update in 2223.
DTSD Webinars: I'll just. I'd like to comment that under the purpose number one that really really falls greatly in line with our our fourth curriculum goal, which? Yeah, it's it's so well aligned.
DTSD Webinars: All right. Any discussion on this policy
DTSD Webinars: can I get a motion to move. Policy 8, 30 to
DTSD Webinars: 2, 30 day review to full board. So moved Lindsay. True. Second, Donna Cronin. All in favor. Aye, any opposed?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, that will move on to the full board, and that is it for our policies to review. See? I knew I shouldn't include it. Usually it's a never ending list, and we know we've been trying to get through these 800 for one meeting. I'm like, you know what I'll just put these on and we'll finish. We won't have time to do anything else. II was just gonna propose that we have the same makeup for all policy meetings, because that was awesome.
Alright.
DTSD Webinars: So moving on to
DTSD Webinars: public comment, is there anybody who would like to comment?
DTSD Webinars: And there, I don't think there's anybody online?
