Canyon City Schools board approves personnel policies, student screening policy and 2025-26 calendar
Summary
The Canyon City Schools Board approved five district policy files related to staff recruiting, student screening and parental rights notice, and adopted the 2025–26 academic calendar in a final vote on Monday. All measures passed on unanimous roll calls with no substantive discussion recorded.
The Canyon City Schools Board of Education approved five district policy files and adopted the proposed 2025–26 academic calendar during its meeting on Monday, Feb. 10, the board chair said.
Board members voted unanimously to adopt updated personnel policies for licensed and support staff, a revised student screening and testing policy, a notification of rights under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), and the district calendar for the 2025–26 school year. The board recorded no substantive debate on the motions, and each item passed by roll call vote.
Why it matters: The adopted files set district procedures for recruiting and hiring both licensed and support staff, clarify the district's approach to student screening and testing, and formalize parental notification rights under the federal PPRA. The calendar decision sets the district’s instructional schedule and key dates for the coming school year.
