District policy staff brought two policy updates tied to state guidance to the board for second reading and adoption.

Summer activities policy (IHCA): Staff identified a missing clause from the model policy related to career‑readiness language required by new state rules (ED 306). The proposed final sentence added “and other career readiness activities” to align the policy with state expectations. The board adopted the revised summer‑activities policy by voice vote following a motion; no substantive fiscal impact was identified.

Learn Everywhere / credit acceptance (policy IK): The draft policy restated state law language that the district must accept a portion of student credits from state‑approved external programs. Policy committee members raised clarity concerns about the phrase “at least one‑third.” The committee recommended and the board accepted revised language to clarify that the district will accept up to one‑third of the total number of credits required for graduation from Learn Everywhere programs, and that students may petition the principal to consider additional external credits on a case‑by‑case basis. The board voted to accept the revision; staff said the program‑of‑studies and guidance procedures will reflect the approach and that the district will continue to vet external programs against its competencies and graduation requirements.

Both policies were adopted after discussion and procedural votes; policy committee recommended the wording change to improve clarity while preserving compliance with state requirements.
