What was decided

The Policy Committee reviewed and approved several school district policies, including BGAA on policy development, JFABD on homeless and unaccompanied youth admissions, and updates to ACA and AC-R policies covering transgender staff protections and discrimination/harassment procedures. Two additional policies, EHB on data records retention and DAF on federal grant fund administration, were discussed and moved for approval, but the minutes do not record a final vote count for these two items.
