Board clarifies graduation regalia policy; proposes advertisement of Administrative Rule 5.12 revisions
Summary
Board members discussed graduation regalia after a veteran raised concerns; members clarified that graduates providing proof of enlistment are authorized to wear military regalia. The board also agreed to advertise revisions to Administrative Rule 5.12 on student out-of-zone transfers for final vote at the next meeting.
The workshop covered two related policy items: graduation regalia and advertisement of changes to student transfer rules.
On graduation regalia (action item 2), a board member reported a veteran’s concern that only those who completed basic training should wear military regalia. Another committee member clarified the drafted language: graduates who provide proof are authorized to wear military regalia; other items such as National Honor Society cords are decided by the school graduation committee.
Separately, the chair confirmed that revisions to Administrative Rule 5.12 (student out-of-zone transfer choice) will be advertised and returned for final vote at the next meeting.
Board members asked questions about implementation and where to refer objections; staff directed members to the appropriate school graduation committees for contested cases and to bring advertising and final vote items back as scheduled.
