Waukee Community Schools School Board Agenda Explained — July 13, 2026

The extracted packet identifies these as first readings but does not include enough substantive policy text to characterize the specific proposed changes.

Student Technology, Social Media and Artificial Intelligence

Several additional first-reading items focus on how students and employees use technology and social media.

• Policy 413.18 — Employee Use of Social Media is scheduled for a first reading.
• Policy 509.3 — Use of Personal Electronic Devices by Students is scheduled for a first reading.
• Policy 605.9 — Student Use of Social Media is scheduled for a first reading.
• Policy 605.10 (NEW) — Artificial Intelligence in the Educational Environment is scheduled for a first reading.
• Policy 605.10-R(1) (NEW) — Artificial Intelligence in the Educational Environment is also scheduled for a first reading. The packet says this regulation is based on an IASB policy regulation.
• Policy 605.10-R(2) (NEW) — Artificial Intelligence in the Educational Environment Grades 6-12 is scheduled for a first reading.

Together, the agenda places artificial intelligence alongside broader student-device and social-media policies for committee review. The extracted packet does not provide the underlying provisions, standards or restrictions proposed in these policies.

Athletics and Student Participation

The committee is also scheduled to conduct first readings of policies addressing eligibility and participation in athletics:

• Policy 503.6B — High School Eligibility
• Policy 503.6C — Student Participation in Non-School Sponsored Sports

These appear in addition to Policy 503.6 — Interscholastic Competition, which is included among the 2026 legislative policy updates. The extracted packet does not specify what changes are proposed to eligibility or participation requirements.

Operations and Financial Administration

Two employee travel items are scheduled for first readings:

• Policy 803.9 — Employee Travel Compensation
• Policy 803.9-R(0) — Employee Travel Compensation

The committee is also scheduled to review Policy 701.5 — Meal Charging Policy. The extracted packet identifies the subjects and first-reading status of these items but does not provide proposed reimbursement amounts, meal-charging thresholds or other detailed terms.

What to Watch at the Meeting

The agenda contains a broad policy workload, with first readings touching elections and meeting notices, employment practices, student discipline, open enrollment, student expression, athletics, medication, instruction, public records, technology, social media and artificial intelligence.

Of particular note are the newly identified Policy 605.10 and its associated regulations on artificial intelligence in the educational environment, including a regulation specifically designated for grades 6–12. Because the extracted packet provides little substantive language from the proposed policies, the agenda establishes the subjects scheduled for consideration but does not support conclusions about how district rules would change.

The committee also has a scheduling matter listed as a discussion item. The packet proposes moving the September Policy Committee meeting from Monday, Sept. 7 to Tuesday, Sept. 8 because of the Labor Day holiday.
