They have not been officially revised? They have only been publicly? They have not been officially revised. Okay. Okay. Fair enough. Any other questions on this one? On that same topic who do we recognize as the certifying body for MBE, WBE status? Do you know offhand? Is it like the state of Missouri or city of St. Louis? I'll have to look into that. They typically will present us with a document. If they qualify they always provide a document to indicate that. I'll have to see who that validating body is. The better business bureau or somebody else in their registration. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I'll get you an answer on that. I have a question slash comment. Again you and I emailed about this. Number two on page four after they talk about the WBE and MBEs they talk about purchasing items that have the highest practical percentage of recovered materials as defined by the EPA and as this is going to be or is a new law, a new requirement it has not yet appeared in our prior bids and now that we will be putting out all these bids I just want to acknowledge that this will be a part of it and that we as a board are aware. It is required under this policy for programs involving federal dollars. If the board wants us to do it for all programs we can do that but our intent will be that currently we have no scheduled bids for involving federal funds. Okay.
If the board wants us to do it for all programs we can do that but our intent will be that currently we have no scheduled bids for involving federal funds. Okay. There are no other questions on that one. We can move on to KK. KK deals with visitors to district property and events and the MSBA proposes to amend the policy to add an appeal process for individuals whose access has been restricted to public forums. So that would be like a board meeting or other public forum that might take place in a school. It's not parent-teacher conferences. It's not other things like that so I want to make that clear. So if somebody were banned they would have an appeal process to this body. The bans that are issued or the restrictions that would be issued would be issued under the authority of the superintendent or the superintendent's designee which typically these days is going to be the director of safety and security so that's how that policy would operate. You just answered my question and I was going to ask about involving the director of safety and security. Any other questions about KK? I had emailed to Stacey and Nisha and John a proposed change on page two under prohibited items. That paragraph says very few things and very many words and so I just I don't know if I should read it out loud. It's just silly how it is now.
That paragraph says very few things and very many words and so I just I don't know if I should read it out loud. It's just silly how it is now. So what I would propose is visitors to district property may not do the following on district property, on district transportation or at any district functioning or activity sponsored or sanctioned by the district. First of all it may not possess weapons including concealed weapons unless the visitor is an authorized law enforcement official on official duty. I added that part or is otherwise authorized by board policy. Second one is may not use alcohol, cannabis even if the visitor has a valid medical marijuana license, tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, imitation tobacco, cigarette products or any substances that are illegal under the state of federal law. This prohibition includes the distribution, possession and use of cannabis even if the visitor has a valid blah blah blah license. Visitors who are under the influence will be asked to leave and may be removed from district property. It's much better. You're right. It's very redundant. It basically says all of that in five different ways. In less words and more direct. And if there's no objections we can have the second reading prepared that way. Can we just like I didn't object to any words but maybe we could just see it in writing in case I didn't catch every. Yeah. For the second. Oh you didn't catch everything I just said?
For the second. Oh you didn't catch everything I just said? I got 95 plus percent of it but you know. Repeat it. The piece that I did add and I just noted it as I said it is it says currently that you can't have weapons unless you're an authorized law enforcement official. And I just added on duty duty. And I don't know if people agree with that. Yes. Clause. Yeah I do. Yeah thank you Pam. Any other KK questions or comments? Okay. If not that's all for the first readings. We're moving on to some second readings of policies starting with E.B.B.C. Chris if you want to read that motion. Page four. The lactation. I move that the board adopt policy E.B.B.C. with lactation support with proposed changes. Second. Okay. It's been moved and seconded. Any other questions or comments about this one. All those in favor. Aye. Any opposed. No. Okay. Motion passes. Now policy G.B. dash one part time and substitute employment. Read that please. I move that the board adopt policy G.B. dash one part time and substitute employment with proposed changes. Second. Okay. It's been moved and seconded. Any other questions or comments on this one. All those in favor. Aye. Any opposed. No. Okay. Motion passes. I move that the board adopt policy G.B.C. B.B. protected staff communications with proposed changes. Second. Okay. It's been moved and seconded. Any questions or comments on G.B.C. B.B. Okay. All those in favor. Aye. Any opposed. No. That one passes.
No. That one passes. I move that the board adopt policy I.C. dash two academic calendar with proposed changes. Second. Okay. That one has been moved and seconded. Any questions or comments on I.C. two? All those in favor. Aye. Any opposed. Motion passes. Okay. Thank you Dr. Solver. Okay. Great. Moving on to consent agenda. I would like before we vote on the consent agenda I do want to call out the donation of $3,000 to the food and essentials drive. Thank you to the Jennings family for that. Now Chris if you would read the motion for consent. I move that the board approve consent agenda items 7.1 through 7.6. Second. It's been moved and seconded. Any comments on consent agenda at all? Okay. All those in favor. Aye. Any opposed. No. Consent agenda passes. Okay. We're moving to board communications. I think maybe Leo was there a legislative advisory meeting yet? Yeah. We had our first legislative advisory meeting. We talked about the principles that we ratified last year, what a good development that was, and we're sort of in a mode where we're just cautiously watching what's going on in Jeff City to see what may come out that we need to react to, but you know knock wood there's nothing immediately pressing us so that was sort of the conclusion of that meeting. Well I'm happy even though there's nothing apparently that we can see that's immediately pressing.
