Loading...
Summary
The board approved moving the last day of classes to May 22 (seniors May 19) due to unused snow days and completed first readings of multiple policy revisions and rescissions, including a cardiac emergency response plan.
At the April 23 meeting the Wentzville R‑IV Board approved an updated 2025–26 academic calendar that moves the last day of school to Friday, May 22 because of unused snow days; seniors’ last day was set for Tuesday, May 19. District staff said the adjustment meets state instructional‑hours requirements and follows language in the union agreement about forgiveness of unused snow days.
The board voted in favor of the calendar on a motion and voice vote.
The board also completed first readings of several policy changes: new policy 5218 (cardiac emergency response plan) and the rescission of policy 2831 (automated external defibrillators), plus revisions to policies on protection of student rights, Title I program requirements, nondiscrimination and student rights, searches by school personnel, and admission and residency requirements. These items were presented as first readings and will return for subsequent board consideration per standard procedure.
Board members closed the meeting with brief comments recognizing students who advanced in competitions and thanking curriculum staff for recent work. The meeting adjourned after a roll‑call vote.
