Fox Chapel board adopts multiple revised policies and approves several for first reading
Summary
The board approved second-reading adoptions of several revised policies (including policies on pregnant/parenting students, hazing, dating violence, educator misconduct and federal fiscal compliance) and approved first readings of additional policies including Title I parent and family engagement revisions.
The Fox Chapel Area School District board approved a package of policy revisions at its Nov. 10 meeting.
Mr. Frank moved and the board approved second reading and adoption of several revised policies, including: Policy 234 (Pregnant, Parenting, and Marriage Students); 247 (Hazing); 252 (Dating Violence); 317 (Conduct—Disciplinary Procedures); 317.1 (Educator Misconduct); 320 (Freedom of Speech by Employees, name change only); 626 (Federal Fiscal Compliance); 626.1 (Travel Reimbursement—Federal Programs); 914 (Relations with Intermediate Unit); and 917 (Parental Family Involvement).
The board also approved first reading of additional revised policies including 102 (Academic Standards), 105 (Curriculum), 122 (Extracurricular Activities), 123 (Interscholastic Athletics) and 918 (Title I Parent and Family Engagement). During discussion board members asked about expansions in the Title I policy; administrators said the additions reflect changes in federal Title I parent and family engagement requirements and emphasized that Title I-specific tracking primarily applies to the district’s Title I building (Kerr Elementary).
A motion to approve the policy actions was seconded and carried by roll call.
