Third item re technology. Changes the frequency of how often district technology plan is reviewed (to three years). The committee notes another member has just arrived. Sent to the board for first read.

Last item re health and wellness. Includes an antidiscrimination statement is accordance to USDA guidelines. Also adds the inclusion of USDA being mentioned in the policy.

Some incomprehensible questions. Sounds like they're wondering if documentation will be changed. Someone says they don't think so, but will clarify. Moves to board for first read.

Time for public comment.

No in-person comments. Online comment from Lea Moore (sp). They want to thank the committee "for deciding to wait re the public comment process." Thanks them for not tampering with the process, and recommends they leave the public comment process when they revisit in December.

Commenter says when the board minimizes the opportunity for public comment, they are doing a disservice to the 96,000 constituents. Says they have not been threatened and changing public comment would just be to not listen to criticism (paraphrased).

Meeting adjourned at 9:28 am. This concludes the DPSCD Policy Committee meeting. The full board meeting is scheduled for December 10, 2024. For more meeting coverage, check out . documenters.org
