Superintendent outlines new communication rules under Senate Bill 181 and reminds families the school year begins Aug. 7
Summary
Superintendent summarized traceable-communication requirements under Senate Bill 181 and urged parents to download district apps and update contact information ahead of the Aug. 7 start date and early-release plans.
Superintendent staff told the board that Hardin County Schools is implementing changes required by Senate Bill 181 and urged parents and staff to be patient as the district adapts communications.
The superintendent said the new law requires "traceable communications" and that staff who interact with students outside their normal duties will need parental permission to communicate. Schools will ask parents and guardians to download an app and provide updated contact information so families receive timely notices, especially with the first day of school on Aug. 7 approaching. The superintendent also noted an early release for elementary schools on the first day and asked families to watch for buses and updated pickup information.
The board discussion included reminders about open houses and a calendar note that the next board meeting is Aug. 21. The superintendent directed questions about the law and communications to the district office for more information and materials posted on the district website.
