At the workshop the board heard a first reading of multiple policy revisions intended to align district rules with Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) guidance and PIAA bylaws. Administration said the package revises definitions and eligibility standards for extracurricular activities, aligns interscholastic activity language with PIAA bylaws, and adds new policies addressing sudden cardiac arrest (policy 123.5) and concussion management (policy 123.6).

"This policy was revised to meet the current PSBA standard for consistency and clarification purposes," the district administrator said while reviewing the proposed changes. Administrators said PSBA had paused earlier revisions pending clearer name/image/likeness language from PIAA and that the recent PSBA recommendations were incorporated into the current drafts.

Key policy details described to the board include:
- Policy 122 (extracurricular activities): revised definition and added eligibility standards intended to create consistent application across activities.
- Policy 123 and related subpolicies (interscholastic activities; establishment of new sports; employment of coaches; parent/guardian coaches): terminology and role references updated and aligned with PIAA bylaws.
- Policy 123.5 (sudden cardiac arrest) and 123.6 (concussion management): new policies designed to provide guidance on prevention, recognition and return-to-play; administrators said these were recommended to reduce legal exposure and improve student safety.
- Policy 324 (personnel files): updated language to align with the Pennsylvania personnel files act and to clarify employees' access to records.

Board members raised questions about how nondiscrimination language applies when teams select participants and whether selection based on ability constitutes unlawful discrimination. Administration clarified that nondiscrimination refers to protected categories (for example, race) and that selection based on performance or ability is distinct. Members also pressed on the training burden for coaches: administrators described required online training modules (about 45 minutes annually for cardiac and concussion content), Principles of Coaching and first-aid/safety courses that are multi-hour certifications and generally retained for a multi-year period. Administration said those trainings provide documented credentialing and reduce the risk of liability, rather than increasing it.

Discussion also noted that prior policy language restricting opposite-gender participation in contact sports had been removed from the current draft. Administration recommended rescinding an older, standalone policy on wrestling weight certification (policy 123.4) as redundant with current PIAA bylaws; that rescission was discussed and will be processed as cleanup of obsolete language.

No final policy votes were taken at the workshop: the package was presented for first reading and will return for formal action at a future business meeting.
