The VBSchools Policy Review Committee met on October 14, 2026, to review policies and regulations; no contracts, purchases, or procurement-related spending approvals were identified. The committee advanced Regulation 536.1 on student discipline, Policies 3-60 on mold and potable-water testing, 5-69 on student fees and reimbursements, 7-16, and 7-17 on visitors to school facilities to a future School Board meeting. Policy 3-60 updates include notice requirements for mold findings and lead contamination exceeding 10 parts per billion. Policy 5-69 addresses annual fee schedules, fee-waiver information, voluntary dues, and materials charges; members also requested a more detailed presentation on school field trips.

The committee sent Policy 4-32 on employee associations back for further review alongside related computer-use Regulation 6-64.1K, seeking clarity on association communications and bulletin-board eligibility. Policy 7-57, addressing motorized vehicles and related items on school property, was returned for revisions, including further consideration of drones, authorized uses, and possession restrictions. Policy 6-13 on the standard school year was also returned for staff to draft clearer language on teaching days or hours, calendar flexibility, and state requirements. The committee discussed whether payroll-deduction authorizations should renew annually, but the transcript does not establish a final action on that item.
