Board opens public hearing on district code of conduct ahead of August adoption
Summary
The superintendent presented the district's code of conduct, said Education Law 2801 requires a public hearing before adoption, and opened a 30-day public comment period prior to an August vote.
The board held a public hearing on the East Islip Union Free School District's code of conduct as part of its annual review process. The superintendent told attendees that Education Law 2801 mandates an annual review and that a public hearing is required before adoption.
She described the code as a comprehensive document that defines acceptable behavior and consequences for misconduct and said the district is emphasizing prevention, support programs and family partnerships. Student-friendly versions of the code will be posted on the district website after adoption, the superintendent said.
The superintendent reiterated that the public comment window is open for 30 days and that the Board of Education will adopt the code at its August meeting, with the final version posted on the district website thereafter.
