Board adopts student-services policy updates; trustees request name-record cross-reference
Summary
The board adopted student-services policy updates recommended by staff and the Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA); trustees asked for a cross-reference to the district policy that defines a student’s legal name in directory listings.
The Lynchburg City Schools Board of Education adopted updates to student-services policies after staff and the district attorney reviewed recommended changes, including VSBA updates and minor code references.
During discussion, a trustee raised that the student-directory policy lists “student’s name” in directory information and requested the board clarify whether that should read “student’s legal name” and be cross-referenced to the gender/name policy (policy JBBZ). An attorney present said the policy review raised no legal concerns and agreed a cross-reference could strengthen the wording. The superintendent’s team agreed adding a cross reference or specifying “legal name” could be handled as a simple change if that is the board’s desire.
Motion and vote: A motion to adopt the student-services policies passed by roll call after a second; the clerk recorded affirmative votes from members present.
Ending: Staff will incorporate requested cross references and publish the updated policies.
