The board discussed the potential rescission of Policy 537, which was instituted approximately eight years ago to address issues related to school expectations and behavior. It was noted that this policy is neither part of the Minnesota School Boards Association (MSBA) guidelines nor relevant to current practices, as much of its content overlaps with existing policies or is better suited for procedural handbooks. The committee decided to send this policy to the full school board with a recommendation for rescission, acknowledging that the outdated student expectation grids within it no longer align with the MSBA student handbooks currently in use.

In revising Policy 418, the board incorporated protections for students enrolled in the Minnesota patient registry program. This addition follows the 2024 amendment by the Minnesota Legislature.

Additionally, the committee examined Policy 614, concerning student district testing plans, where a debate emerged over the removal of a section prohibiting retaliation. While some argued that the section was unnecessary and covered by broader state statutes, others felt it provided specific protection for employees involved in technical disruptions or interruptions during assessments. Ultimately, the committee recommended maintaining the provision, allowing the full board to make the final decision.

The meeting further included discussions on minor revisions to policies related to the privacy of pupil records, interviews of students by outside agencies, and Title IX non-discrimination procedures, all aimed at ensuring alignment with state and federal statutes. The board also updated its uniform grant guidance policy to address cybersecurity measures and veteran rights.
