Policy Subcommittee Meeting 5/26/2026

The Policy Subcommittee meeting held on May 26, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and revising two policies related to human resources and student liaison roles. The main procurement-related discussion involved a proposed revision to the job application disqualification policy concerning criminal convictions and background checks for substitutes and temporary staff. The committee debated the frequency and requirements for national and state background checks, ultimately agreeing to clarify that all substitutes or temporary staff members must obtain initial national and state background checks upon hire if not already obtained within the past two years. The committee approved moving this policy revision to a second reading. Additionally, minor adjustments were discussed for the student liaison policy to clarify term dates and meeting attendance periods. No contract awards, budget allocations, or vendor selections were discussed during this meeting.
