001now on that committee. So, apologies, Mrs. Baldino. Um, we should be invited to all future meetings, of course. And then from the administration, we had Diane and uh Stacy there. Uh, we briefly touched on follow-up topics from the last meeting, including um the grading uh policies for advanced math or other advanced classes. At this point in time, uh curriculum curriculums and programs will be taking that over. Uh we don't think there's anything that needs to necessarily be put in policy, but if there is, we'll uh wait for uh curriculums and programs to inform us of that. Next, we talked about the uh the lunch um point of sales system. U Mrs. Pstra working with the vendor uh Tabitha um has created a number of questions uh that we're going to send out to parents about
002the uh efficiency and any desired change that they might have, a little bit of an understanding about the the launch program uh and how that's working in terms of budgeting. And so we expect that to uh to be sent out. And then we had a number of uh policies that are going to go for first reading tonight that came out in late December uh from Strauss SMA in their alert number 236. Just a a brief review on that. Um the majority of that uh 236 was the freedom to read act which we have already uh gotten ahead of and and passed those in anticipation of PSAC and just trying to uh stay on top of those. But there were some changes uh with our uh policies pertaining to sexual harassment. So we are abolishing our
003um previous sexual harassment uh policies which separated uh teachers from staff. Uh the reason for that is um we need to make sure that the new policy finally uh incorporates all the title n federal regulations. And in cases where there's um uh a determination between whether it's title seven and title nine, uh it requires the more strict title nine regulations to be applied. So that policy uh is unified now uh as policy uh number 1552. Uh there was some uh compliance updates just with the most recent statute. So, uh, nepatism, which is, uh, 0142.1, uh, is basically just a rewrite to align with the the current statute. And, uh, the final piece is, um, the CSA and employment. Uh, not a major change from what we currently had. Uh, big change was requiring county superintendent,
004um, approval, which we already uh, had implemented. This is a QAC area 3 requirement. So that is um going to be proposed for first reading tonight and uh that is all. >> Great. Thank you. Any questions? >> Um some community stuff. >> Okay. Yeah, that would be great. Yeah, because I know Miss Maldino was still connecting with Mrs. Reed on um on a report anyway. So >> yeah. So we have a lot going on. There's the class parties and everything before the winter break will be February 6th. Um February 5th is a PTO meeting. So at 7 p.m. at night, we have bingo coming up Thursday, January 29th. The sweetheart dance for the girls and their special people are February February 20th. The blazers and bow ties is for sons and their love loved ones
005is March 27th. Save the date. And um winter enrichment started this week. So after school activities and then the play is underway um and that will be in March the 19th, 2021st and I think there is an event for the um be March 5th. March 5th. >> So a lot of fun stuff going on. >> How'd that last stance go? No problems. >> Great. I will talk in my Yep. It's in my admin report. Um >> all right. Well, >> yeah, right to it. >> Not to get too ahead. >> Yeah. So, um first of all, I would like to just acknowledge school board recognition month, which is January, and just thank all of you for all the time and effort that you put into, you know, um doing everything in your roles to make
006sure that our school district is is well-run. Um, it is a volunteer position and all of you spend so much time.
