Board sends suspension-policy forms back to committee, eyes revisions to facility-rental fees and policy tracking
Trustees directed policy staff to return student-discipline policy 3330 and its associated notice-of-suspension forms to the policy committee for further work after administrators and some trustees disagreed about whether threat-assessment language should appear on the form or only in policy.

An administrator explained that removing explicit threat-assessment language from the notice form was intended to avoid unnecessarily alarming parents, because a formal threat assessment would itself trigger separate notifications. Other trustees said due-process language and clarity belong in policy rather than being limited to the form. The board voted to send 3330 and the three supporting forms back to the policy committee so administration and trustees can align the policy text and the forms.

Trustees also debated a community complaint that the district's facility rental rates are higher than neighboring communities. Staff said the district uses a 75% in-district roster threshold to prioritize district students for reduced or no fees and that tournaments are typically charged a higher category. Trustees identified a likely typo or mismatch in the fee schedule's columns and instructed staff to correct the table and return comparisons with surrounding districts for committee review.

Separately, trustees discussed restoring previously used policy protocols and a centralized policy-tracking spreadsheet that had been managed by a prior assistant superintendent. Staff reported there is no single parent email list; trustees asked to rebuild a sign-up mechanism (a website pop-up and targeted SkyAlert/Skyler messaging) to improve parent notification and opportunities for public input on policy revisions.

The board asked staff to bring corrected fee schedules, a policy-tracking update, and recommended language alignment for policy 3330 back to the policy committee before returning the items to the full board.
