Board tables student-enrollment policy, approves dress-code guidelines, principal appointments and three school plan changes
Summary
At the Jan. 27, 2025 meeting, the Washington County School District board voted to table Policy 2920 (student enrollment) for further work, approved district dress-code guidelines, confirmed two principal assignments and accepted SLT plan changes for three schools.
The Washington County School District Board of Education on Jan. 27, 2025 took several personnel and policy actions, including tabling a student-enrollment policy for further revision and approving new dress-code guidelines.
Policy 2920 (student enrollment): The board voted to table Policy 2920 for two weeks to allow staff additional time to define “full-time student” and to reconcile language following recent boundary-change hearings. The motion to table was moved by Member Simmons and seconded by Member Gunn; the motion passed on a voice vote (recorded as “Aye” by the board). The motion carried; the board asked staff to return with revised language after further review.
Dress-code guidelines: Sherry (staff member) presented revised dress-code guidelines intended to support a “safe and orderly learning environment,” and said principals and assistant principals at both elementary and secondary levels had reviewed the guidance. Sherry told the board that administrators requested the guidelines be approved now so schools could begin communicating expectations to parents and staff, with reinforcement planned next school year. The board approved the Washington County School District dress-code guidelines on a motion by Member Segg (second by Member Cox) and a voice vote of “Aye”; the exact tally was not specified in the record.
Principal appointments: Superintendent Richard Holmes recommended two principal assignments: Michael Winslow as principal at Sunrise Ridge (Intermediate) and Melissa Diesel’s reassignment from Santa Ana Elementary to Paradise Canyon Elementary. The board approved the recommended appointments on a motion accepted from Member Staley and seconded by Member Fairfax; the motion carried on a voice vote recorded as “Aye.”
School SLT (Site Leadership Team) plan changes: The board approved changes to SLT plans for Arrowhead Elementary, Bloomington Hills Elementary and Crimson Cliffs High School in a single motion (moved by Member Cox and seconded by Member Gunn); the motion carried on a voice vote.
Votes recorded during the meeting were indicated by unanimous “Aye” voice votes on each motion; the transcript does not include a numerical roll-call tally.
The board adjourned after these actions.
