Columbia Public Schools' policy committee wants to update the district's staff grievance policy, though the district's top human resources official said the policy is rarely used.

Clippard, however, pointed out that many policies could be part of the collective bargaining process. The committee decided to not wait for those outcomes to have discussions.
Peter Stiepleman, assistant superintendent of elementary education, pointed out that the group's discussions could inform collective bargaining discussions.
"It does make sense for it to be a somewhat related process," Wade said.
