Board approves PIVUS student handbook; staff explained differences from regular handbook

Sep 10, 2025

The board approved a separate student handbook for the Pleasant Valley (PIVUS) alternative program, which staff said contains different disciplinary matrices; the handbook will be posted online and principals will implement the guidelines locally.

Staff explained that the PIVUS (Pleasant Valley) student handbook is separate from the district's regular handbook because PIVUS serves students in an alternative setting and has distinct disciplinary procedures and expectations. "This handbook is specific to Pleasant Valley ... on page 2, it notifies the students at Pleasant Valley that they are subject to our regular handbook and the provisions that aren't specific to Pleasant Valley," a staff member said.
