The WASB Delegate Assembly met virtually to review ten resolutions last week Wednesday, Jan. 20. Ultimately, the delegates approved all ten with some amendments.
Resolution 21-01 had language added at the end referencing supermajority votes of the legislature and Resolution 21-09 had language removed at the end which referenced what charges can be brought against individuals who convey unspecific threats to schools. See below for more information:

The WASB positions on policy issues are generally decided by the Delegate Assembly, which is comprised of one representative from each member school board and CESA board of control. The Delegate Assembly meets annually at the time of the WASB-WASDA-WASBO State Education Convention in January.
The process begins months earlier when the Policy and Resolutions Committee, comprised of about 25 school board members from across the state, evaluates the resolutions submitted by WASB member boards and determines which resolutions will advance to the next Delegate Assembly. Resolutions turned down by the committee are still afforded an opportunity to be brought to the Delegate Assembly floor.
Resolutions are due each year by Sept. 15. Contact the WASB government relations staff for additional information.
