The board approved proposed revisions to board policy DCE(LOCAL), which covers employment practices for other types of contracts, completing its first reading.

What it means for you

This is the first formal step toward changing district policy on certain employee contracts; a second reading would be required before the changes are fully adopted.

Outcome

Adopted as part of the board's consent agenda, not by individual vote: "On motion by board member Cruz Arnold, with a second by board member Garza Lindner, the board voted to approve the remainder of the items on the agenda by consensus."
