Clay County to advertise revised student code of conduct ahead of June 25 public hearing
Summary
Superintendent told the board the student code of conduct will be advertised under a 28‑day public notice and return for a final hearing on June 25; staff previewed separate elementary and secondary versions and a two‑page summary of changes.
The Clay County School Board heard on April 28 that the district will advertise a revised student code of conduct and follow a 28‑day public notice period ahead of a final public hearing set for June 25.
What officials said: The superintendent told the board the code has been reorganized into separate secondary and elementary versions and includes a two‑page summary of the principal changes meant to make the document easier to read. “We wanted language that was easier to understand and some graphs on common items,” the superintendent said.
Staff and visuals: The superintendent introduced staff who led the work (identified in the meeting as Tabby and Aaron) and said the materials include concise graphics and links to classroom behavior support strategies aimed at helping newer teachers.
Next steps: The board will proceed with advertising the code of conduct as presented and will hold the final public hearing on June 25. Board members recommended adding explicit references to state statutory minimum penalties (for example, weapons) in graphics or callouts to reduce confusion.
No vote was recorded at the workshop; the item is set to return to the board for final action after the public‑notice period.
