Board approves three MSBA‑recommended policy changes including family‑paced education and candidate eligibility
Summary
The school board approved three MSBA‑recommended policy updates, including a new eligibility disqualification for candidates convicted of first‑ or second‑degree assault, updated language for homeschooling, and added due‑process protections for virtual students facing discipline.
The Warren County R‑3 board approved three policy updates that the district said came from the Missouri School Boards' Association (MSBA).
Board leadership said one update clarifies that individuals convicted of assault in the first or second degree are prohibited from running for the school board. Another update replaces older language about homeschooling with current terminology the district described as "family‑paced education." A third update adds due‑process protections for virtual students who face disciplinary actions.
A motion to approve the three policy recommendations passed by voice vote. Board members did not request further amendments during the meeting.
The policies were presented as MSBA recommendations and adopted as presented; the board did not refer them to committee for additional change.
