The Gilbert Public Schools Governing Board gave preliminary approval to 15 policies, including some on hot-button issues, to align them with new state laws.
Some of the policies were mundane, but some were subject to controversy in the Arizona Legislature during the past session, including mask-wearing requirements and who can participate in female sports.
Nonetheless, the district was required to update its own policies to align with the new laws. Thus, each passed their first read on a 5-0 vote.
