Summary
Radford City School Board held a first reading of proposed Policy BBBD — a code of conduct for board members covering purpose, trust, staff relations, public conduct, conflict resolution and accountability — and scheduled a possible vote in March.
The board discussed a proposed new code of conduct for board members (Policy BBBD) during the Feb. 10 meeting as a first reading item.
Board leadership said the policy formalizes expectations for behavior during meetings and in the community, covering topics including trust and collegiality, relationships with staff, public conduct and communication, conflict and decision‑making, professionalism and institutional memory. The policy includes a place for members to sign an acknowledgement if they choose.
Supporters described the policy as a living document to guide future boards and help prospective candidates understand the role. The board said the policy will return as an action item in March for a final vote.
