BOE Policy Committee Meeting - August 12, 2026 - 3:00PM

The Newburgh Schools Board of Education Policy Committee met on August 12, 2026, to review and update several district policies primarily driven by compliance with federal and state regulations, including those recommended by NISPA. Key procurement-related discussions involved policy updates on information and data privacy, including adherence to the NIST cybersecurity framework and breach notification requirements, which impact vendor management and third-party software contracts. The committee also reviewed policies related to video conferencing for board meetings, physical restraint and corporal punishment in schools, mandated reporting of child abuse, and employee rights regarding expressing breast milk in the workplace. Several policies were moved forward for first reading and adoption at the next board meeting, while others, such as corporal punishment, were deferred for further review. The meeting included clarifications on regulatory compliance and procedural updates but did not involve direct contract awards or budget allocations.
