Board adopts employee arrest-notification and flag-display policies required for accreditation
Summary
Trustees unanimously adopted two policy changes: DABBR (notification of superintendent of employee arrest) and GA (flag displays). Staff said the flag policy change aligns with state Department of Education accreditation requirements.
The Piedmont Board of Education voted unanimously to adopt two policies: DABBR (notification to the superintendent when a school employee is arrested) and GA (flag displays).
Board members were told DABBR requires employees to notify human resources or the superintendent if they are arrested so the district does not learn of employee arrests from media coverage. Staff said the flag policy change responds to a state Department of Education requirement to meet accreditation standards; board members noted minor wording changes to align with state language (for example, updated phrasing from "America" to "United States").
The board adopted both policies by a single motion and vote.
