Summary

The Guilford County Board of Education adopted multiple policy revisions on March 11 (parental notification, student promotion, pregnant/parenting students, federal grant administration) unanimously; the policy on naming and renaming facilities passed by a 7—2 vote after debate.

The Guilford County Board of Education voted March 11 on a slate of policy revisions published for public comment.

Board member Diane moved to adopt a set of policy revisions; the board voted unanimously to adopt changes to parental notification and withholding consent policy, the student promotion and accountability policy, the policy on pregnant and parenting students and employees, and federal grant administration policy.

The board then considered a revision to the policy on naming and renaming of facilities. After discussion and a recorded roll call, the naming/renaming policy passed by a vote of seven in favor and two opposed. Two members explained legal and historical concerns during debate before the vote.

All adopted policies were publicly posted for comment in January and are available on the district website for review. Board materials indicate the policy revisions will be incorporated into governance documents and communicated to district staff.
