Centennial board approves revised student-safety policy JFCEB and corresponding administrative rule

At its Oct. 22 work session, the Centennial School Board took formal action to adopt a revised student-safety policy labeled JFCEB and to approve a corresponding administrative regulation (AR) while deleting the prior policy and AR.

Director Olsen summarized a single wording change made since the first read: the phrase "in school or classroom lockers" was added to a top-of-page paragraph to clarify scope. Board discussion consisted of a roll-call style check for questions; directors indicated no substantive changes were requested.

A board member moved and a director seconded the motion to adopt the proposed policy JFCEB and to delete the current policy; the board voted in favor of the motion. The board then took the same action on the administrative regulation. The board secretary recorded Director Stanley’s affirmative vote by text when her audio was not working.

The motions were presented as routine governance items and received no substantive amendment. Board members noted the AR was based on Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) language and that approval of ARs is a discretionary practice for this board.
