APSB Policy Committee Meeting 6.2.26

The Ascension Public Schools Policy Committee met on June 2, 2026, to discuss updates to school safety policies and student handbook revisions. Key procurement-related discussions included the implementation of a weapons detection system as part of a comprehensive school safety program, with policies ensuring uniform application and streamlined documentation for searches triggered by the system. The committee approved the updated policy on student searches and weapons detection by unanimous vote. Additionally, the meeting covered revisions to the student handbook addressing discipline procedures, attendance, dress code, and technology use, including formal integration of AI governance and data privacy protections. These policy updates aim to enhance school safety, clarify disciplinary processes, and modernize technology use standards. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the adoption of the weapons detection system implies procurement activity related to security equipment.
