Board reviews draft 2025-2030 strategic plan and new community bulletin-board policy reading
Loading...
Summary
The board reviewed the draft 2025-2030 strategic plan (format changes only) and discussed a proposed revision to Policy 1800 to establish an online community bulletin board for non-school organization flyers; principals retain discretion to send physical flyers when appropriate.
The Spearfish School District 40-2 board on June 9 reviewed a draft of the district's 2025-2030 strategic plan and considered a 'reading before revision' of Policy 1800/49, which governs distribution of flyers advertising non-school organization activities.
Board members said the strategic plan content remains unchanged from prior drafts, with only format edits occurring so far. Members who had met with a cited consultant said the district's school improvement plans and the strategic plan appeared to be in alignment.
On Policy 1800/49, staff described a proposal to provide an online community bulletin board on the district website where non-school organizations (for example, recreational leagues or youth camps) could submit flyers to be posted for public view. The policy draft retains approval processes and limits on permitted content; staff said the general practice would be to post flyers to the bulletin board rather than distribute them directly to students, though building principals would still have discretion to send selected flyers home with students when appropriate.
Board members did not take a final vote on the strategic plan content or the policy revision at this meeting; both items were presented for review and will be edited further before final approval.
