BOE Policy Meeting 10/13/2026

The SPS Board of Education policy meeting on October 13, 2026, reviewed policy updates, including changes required by recent state legislation. The committee voted to forward revisions to policies A–D and G–I to the full board, while tabling proposed policies E and F for a future meeting. It also voted to forward several other policy changes, including a CAPE-suggested revision to policy 9222 on resignation, removal from office, and censure; striking “transportation” from policy 9132’s standing-committee description; and removing an annual-report requirement from policy 9130. The committee tabled policy 9125 while discussing conflicting language about authority to appoint separate legal counsel. No contract award, vendor selection, or procurement expenditure was approved.

Food service was discussed in connection with a required policy update: the superintendent warned that failure to adopt the policy before the next board meeting could result in a failed audit. The board also discussed forming a committee, including a board member, in connection with a future food-service contract, but no solicitation or purchasing action was taken. Policy 9250’s outdated $75-per-day reimbursement amount was noted, with a preference expressed for retaining board approval of reimbursements; the transcript ends before any action on that policy is recorded.
