Board approves changes to student‑parent handbook, adds chain‑of‑command and residency guidance
Summary
Trustees approved handbook changes that add enrollment documentation requirements, a chain of command and a process for proof‑of‑residency follow up.
The Portage Township Schools Board approved adjustments to the student‑parent handbook to clarify enrollment requirements and add a chain‑of‑command for parental questions and concerns.
Administrators said the handbook now specifies what parents must provide when enrolling students and adds steps for escalating concerns through a defined chain of command. During discussion trustees asked about proof‑of‑residency timelines; staff said the district sends a 45‑day letter when residency documentation is outstanding.
Trustees moved to approve the handbook changes and voted unanimously on the recorded roll call.
